I have setup a script that uses url/folder name as its home page. I want the index page to be above page or show above page's content. Does it require a htaccess rewire rule? Or is there another simpler option?
While you could use a redirect or rewriterule to do this, I have to ask... Why didn't you just put it in the root in the first blasted place?
I guess he was hoping to be more creative or needed home page to have links to multiple subdirectories. Anyway, just follow the easy redirect instructions here - http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Transparently_redirect_your_root_directory_to_a_subdirectory
