Hi guys,

I've found threads talking about this, but not for 4.1.1
I can't located the Url redirection.

How do I make it go to my CMS homepage when i type in my site www.mysite.com??

thank you!

It should by default unless you edited the index.php page to point to the forum.php page.

Hi Lynne,

I had GlobalGold set up my .php. How would I go about changing it so that it goes to my CMS when I log onto the site?

Thanks in advanced.

Take a look at your index.php file and see if it looks like this which is default:

PHP Code:

/**
 * Use the CMS as the default script:
 */

require('content.php');


/**
 * Use the forum as the default script:
 */

// require('forum.php');

How can I look at the .php that GlobalGold uploaded? Is it in my ACP?

Thanks and sorry..

You need to ftp to your site in order to see your files.

How exactly do I FTP to my site to view these files?

Thanks Lynne

You need to go to your web server control panel, not VB ACP, to do the URL redirect. You will see options there for the URL redirect

Everyone that lands on www.yoursite.com will automatically point to www.yoursite.com/forums or whatever.

Ask your web host provider how to get to the server administration/ CPANEL/root access.

As for FTPing into your site, you need to download something like CORE FTP (freeware) and you can see the files in your public_html directory, but what you need is in the web server control itself. You can also view/edit files from there as well.
