.htaccess

Need to redirect maind domain to index.htm via htaccess but DirectoryIndex not working as expected?

I am helping a friend out with a simple static html site. I have the entire site working.

However, the index file is index.htm and i want people that type the domain (let's say mydomain.com) to be redirected to that index file, so mydomain.com/index.htm

But adding this to .htaccess doesn't work?

AllowOverride All
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.php
Solution

  • You can turn on DirectoryIndexRedirect

    DirectoryIndexRedirect on
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.php

    This will redirect your domain or home directory to /index.htm .
