| Post subject: | Making a redirect page... |
I have my site, and when someone types: "http://xiplst.ath.cx/templest" I want it to go to that folder. But it won't... I think the browser just tries to find a file called "templest" and won't find it. The same thing goes for "http://xiplst.ath.cx/forum" I was thinking making a redirect page called "templest" and another "forum", would that work? or wth should I do?  |

well it wouldn't be a redirect page if you want to view the folder's contents... I think you'd have to set folder's permissions to allow to view it's contents, but I'm not sure |

well, see... I can view the folder just fine if I type the extra "/" in the URL, but if I link to it, the browsers think I'm trying to view a file called the name of the folder. And plus, I want people to be able to go into the forum by just typing: "xiplst.ath.cx/forum" without having to remember the "/" at the end. |

why not just rename the file index.html thats in the forum folder into forum.html and put that in the main folder.... cuz browsers auto add .html to things... otherwise i dotn think u cna mkae a redirect.. or at least i dont know.. |
