I'd like visitors to my web site to automatically be taken to the home page when they enter my domian name. For example, when they type in thedomainame.com the will automatically see thedomainame.com/homepage. Is this done by using htaccess? Can you someone explain this to me? How it works and how to set it up? Or how to change domainname.com/folder/index to just domainname.com? thanks.
You should be able to use this in a .htaccess file sans quotes... "Redirect 301 / http://domainname.com/homepage Let me know if it works for you!
