Apache : redirect or alias?

[ponetguy2]

Hello All,

I've setup a Web Server that houses our web based application. When one goes to

http://servername/servername/default.php,

they get a login page. I'm trying to setup the url to be able to load the login page by simply going to

http://servername.

How can I accomplish this? I believe I can just setup a redirect or alias in my httpd.conf, but I"m not sure how.

I've already setup an alias (CNAME) on our DNS server.

Please advise.

Thank you,

ponetguy2

Is there any reason that you can't change the DocumentRoot to the correct directory? If you can, the only other thing that you [imight[/i] need (depending on the package that you installed from) is to add is a DirectoryIndex directive for 'default.php'

Look at redirectmatch. Something like:
RedirectMatch permanent ^/$

http://servername/servername/default.php

RedirectMatch permanent ^$

http://servername/servername/default.php

that did the trick. I tried RedirectMatch permanent ^$

http://servername/servername/default.php

and it worked like a charm. thank you.
