simple mod rewrite assistance required

Can anyone help me with a simple mod rewrite? I've already given the server some, er, issues, with my attempts to do this. Dunno what's going wrong, exactly.

I want to redirect anyone who lands on the domain, e.g. domain.com, to a sub folder called wiki.

That's it. If you land on the domain, www.example.com, I want to send you to www.example.com/wiki/index.php

 

I think it's not about mod_rewrite but redirect only
Put the following code into your .htaccess file which is located in root.

Redirect / /wiki/index.php

Code (markup):

Hope it helps!

Thanks Richie but I have tried that already and it just gives the server kittens, producing an Internal Server Error.

I've also tried using

Redirect index.html http://www.mydomain/wiki/index.php

Code (markup):

simply doesn't work for some reason.

It may be that my host is limiting some .htaccess commands, I'm not sure.

I do know that I can apply a mod rewrite - I just don't know how.

 

If you could use php or asp then change your index.html to index.php and you could do redirect manually using

 

Actually it is header() & not location() function that you should use..

 

That's a bit odd,try

Redirect [COLOR=Red]/[/COLOR]index.html http://www.mydomain/wiki/index.php

Code (markup):

Yea,with a slash.
It works good in my personal blog!I don't think your host would limit this kind of things
P.s:I'd like to know your site if you don't mind

 

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.domain.com/wiki/ [R=301,L]

might do it.

 

Sorry, confidential at the mo.

Thanks Nintendo! Worked perfectly!

 

Nintendo is just awesome!
I thought it was about redirect,just got what you meant!

 

It is redirect. [R=301,L] 301 redirect. I just always do the mod_rewrite version.

 

But why the code I gave her didn't work?

 

Pssst, Richie! I'm a dude with a chick avatar! Shoemoney said it was the thing to do

 

I have much better luck with mod_rewrite than that redirect stuff!!! Notice I don't even mention 'redirect' in the mod_rewrite faq!!!!

 

Sorry,I didn't know that!

 

Where is your mod_rewrite faq ?
