Instant redirect from root to section

jcd · 2010-09-20 15:18:23

Hello everyone,

I want to redirect visitors who visit my domain root instantly to a specific section (i.e. from http://www.example.com to http://www.example.com/section). I tried adding a redirect in the .htaccess file, but I was obviously doing something wrong as this caused a loop. Maybe this can be done in Textpattern directly? Can anybody please help?

Just so. The .htaccess directives send any request that is not to an actual resource back to the root. /index.php is Textpattern, so you can’t bypass it.

Eh, silly me. Jeff’s right. i’ve deleted my post.

Install TXP in sub-directory /section.
Do a classic redirect from root.

Using if_section="" you can set up a PHP redirect from the default home page to a section but I see errors with eg TXP search result pages (aka all pages who output under ‘home’).

OK I’ll try that. Thanks everyone :)

RedirectMatch ^(.*)/$ http://domain.tld/section [L]

Only problem: you can’t access to http://domain.tld/.
