Base url Redirect - won't function.

[WildRover]

Hello, I can't figure what's gone wrong here.

The url of my site is http://www.xpower-racing.com - if you click here it shows the file structure.

The Forum is: http://www.xpower-racing.com/forum/forum.php

It stopped functioning after the Forum was updated.

There's a gallery at http://www.xpower-racing.com/gallery

If I place a redirect using Cpanel from http://www.xpower-racing.com to http://www.xpower-racing.com/forum/forum.php The gallery then becomes the same and is unusable.

Help....

The problem is you don't have anything in your home directory telling browsers where to go.

Create an index.php file and put this code in it...

PHP Code:

<?php
header("Location: http://www.xpower-racing.com/forum/forum.php");
exit;
?>

Save it to your home directory, which is what shows now when you go to http://www.xpower-racing.com

<?php

?>

{?php

?}

Oops.. it's early here and I'm still having my first coffee..

Corrected it.

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, I just wasn't sure if that was something new or not. no problem. Kind of how they went from commenting with "#" to using ";" in ini files I don't keep up with the changes. If i see someone doing something "new" I assume that it may be a change with PHP.

Nope, nothing new. Just the same old brain not firing on all cylinders until my second cup of coffee.

I didn't think you were being sarcastic and I appreciate your pointing out the error.
