Directory Index

[|Jordan|]

When users go to my site, its takes them straight to the forum (forum is in main directory). I renamed the forum script to "forum.php", i have another page set as "index.php", yet when the url is typed by itself, it still goes to forum.php. Why is it doing this? How can i make it go to index.php instead? I can't use htaccess redirect because im hosting another site on the account and the other domain will be redirected to the primary domain.

Web browsers automatically assume that index (.*) is the page they should go to, so i don't know why it's going to forum.php for you.

I'm not sure if this will work for you - but if you haven't cleared your web browser cache, do that (in your browser settings).

If you're using Windows, you can also do this by going to your msdos command prompt, and typing: ipconfig /flushdns (to clear the DNS resolver cache).

I'm just thinking maybe you successfully made the change, but your web browser is still loading old cache and causing the same old page to be loaded.

But if that's not the case, then i don't know. Good luck!

I figured it out.

In my .htaccess file i had the following line:

RewriteRule ^$ forums.php

Renaming forum.php to index.php fixed it.
