IM Portal

[Grandcruiser]

I just installed IM Portal for my phpBB2 forum and I wanted it to be my index but so far the real index is well...my index. Can anyone help me?

Redirect your /forum directory to that link. or edit the .htacess.

Oh...but what do I edit the .htaccess to?

htaccess uses redirect to look for any request for a specific page (or a non-specific location, though this can cause infinite loops) and if it finds that request, it forwards it to a new page you have specified:

Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html

Note that there are 3 parts to that, which should all be on one line : the Redirect command, the location of the file/directory you want redirected relative to the root of your site (/olddirectory/oldfile.html = yoursite.com/olddirectory/oldfile.html) and the full URL of the location you want that request sent to. Each of the 3 is separated by a single space, but all on one line. You can also redirect an entire directory by simple using Redirect /olddirectory http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/

so in your case, the redirect command would look something like this:

Redirect /path/to/index.html http://yourdomain.com/path/to/forum

Or something like that.

Yeah well the cPanel option does it for you.
