Site isn't going to the right place

bodriagin · 01-27-2010, 05:37 AM

Well I recently installed VB 4 on my site
and when i go to my site: theprestigeclan.com

for some reason it ends up at this 'index of' page instead of going: theprestigeclan.com/forums

What have I done wrong or what do i need to do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Make a index.php file in your main website directory, It is usually public_html or www.
So your going to make a new file called index.php. Put the following code in it and save it.

Code:

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header ("Location: http://www.theprestigeclan.com/forums/");
exit;
?>

This way every one will get redirected to the forums. You can install your forums in the main site directory. If you do not plan to make a site for the forums.

It is probably better to use htaccess to redirect than a php page...Or if you want the site in the index just move all of your files out of your folder forums into the root...That would need no redirect

Could you please explain how to do the .htaccess method then?

and Thank you BBR-APBT, I am using your method for now and it is working.
