Starting the program on my webserver

[tomfoolerly]

Issue resolved.  Thanks for the help.

I need to know what to put in the root of my web server to drive people going to my base url to my forum pages.

I can hard type in //mywebsite/simplemachinesforum/ and get to the board.

What I need to know how to do is imbed the command line in my root so people only have to put in //mywebsite/ and they get routed into the forum.

I want to do this as I am still learning about developing other parts and want to generate so traffic.

Any help would be great.

Thanks -- Tom

if you don't want to move your forum, you could just put a redirect in your root that leads to your forum.
example:
index.php:
<?phpheader ('Location: http://url.to.my/forum/');?>

Either that or you can move your forum to your root directory, then run repair_settings.php What is repair_settings.php?

Thanks for the help.  That worked.  I had the syntax a little off.  That's what happens when you are out of practice.

Glad you got it working
