Coding Problem URL redirect

[Chris1974]

I have phpBB mods on my website. The one mod is a portal skin to make the index page look more like a portal rather than a BB.

The changes in the code I made replaced index.php with portal.php (as per instructions.) I then had to change the .htaccess to accept this.

Problem is now. The other two domains on my server account are affected by this because the .htaccess change was in the root directory. I tried changing the .htaccess per domain and it's not working.

If I type in /index.php on my other two websites they are viewed fine. Unfortunatly this is the only way to view them.

How would/can I fix this?? I guess their is a special way to change the .htaccess on my two websites to get this working, but I'm at a loss here.

So if I understand this.... you have:

www.abc.com/portal.php and in the htaccess you want to type in:
www.abc.com and auto display the portal.php page??? (default home page)

You changed the: "DirectoryIndex portal.php" ?????

If you set the htaccess file to redirect like this:

/ portal.php


Change it to

/index.php portal.php


That should fix it.

Worked like a charm, I think it had to do with the backslash

Thank You

np was an educated guess, im by no means a master of .htaccess files

glad its working.

Just don't create an index.php file in the portal.php directory or the website will show the index.php instead.
