Site default page redirection

[Emanuel]

I need to change the startup of my site from abc.com/index.htm to abc.com/cgi-bin/store/commere.cgi

Can this be done? I'm not sure if creating a .htaccess file in my htdocs with a directory index will work since the commerce.cgi file doesn't exist in the htdocs folder.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Emanuel,

This can be accomplished through mod_rewrite. :)

Simply add the following 2 lines to a .htaccess file and place it in your htdocs directory. Make sure there is an index.htm file in your htdocs directory.



RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^index\.htm$ /cgi-bin/store/commere.cgi
