Hello, I currently have Textpattern installed on my host and I've been using that for a few months. I am testing out various CMS's, Joomla, Xoops, etc. Let's say I just installed Joomla on a folder located on www.mydomain.com/main and I want to make it so www.mydomain.com points to the "main" directory. Would that be easy or a pain in the ass?
put this in your index.html header <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=www.mydomain.com/main"> Code (markup): Replace www.mydomain.com/main with your own
Would there be any future problems for using that redirect script? Will search engines penalize me for redirecting to that directory? How would search engines display my website in the in listings? Will it be like Title Description Site URL: www.mydomain.com/main/ or will be like it Title Description Site URL: www.mydomain.com I guess it has to do with where the backlinks link to? I'm weary of using a redirect script because slow dial-up users will have to wait even longer. They will have to wait to load the redirect page and than wait again for the main page.
I don't understand what the advantage is of using www.mydomain.com/main/ instead of www.mydomain.com? If you want to do it and keep searchengines happy use this in your .htaccess file RedirectPermanent /index.html http://www.mydomain.com/mian/index.html Code (markup):
It can be done very easily if you have access your config files of the web server... Do you use Apache or IIS?
I'm currently using some blog software for www.mydomain.com so I installed a CMS in a /main/ directory. Now I want to "be away" with the blog software and use the CMS instead, but it's installed in the /main/directory.
