Domain to index issue

[assassinationtruth]

When I go to my domain name it goes to an "index of/" page.  From there you have to click the "forum" file to go to the forum index page.

I am unsure how to fix this.

What I would like to have it do, is go directly to the forum page when the domai is entered, and not have to click the forum folder from the index of/ page that appears....

and oh yea....I am so a noooooob. (as if that needed to be said lol)

Thanks!

The web domain is www.jfkassassinationtruth.com [nofollow]

Using an FTP client, move all of the files out of the "forum" directory into the main directory, then run repair_settings.php to fix the URLs and paths (see What is repair_settings.php?).

Alternately, you can put this index.php file in your main directory to send everyone directly to the forum:

<?php
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: http://www.jfkassassinationtruth.com/forum/index.php');
?>

Thanks for your help!

I moved the files from the folder into the main directory as you said, and uploaded and ran repair_settings, and no luck.

If you go to www.jfkassassinationtruth.com [nofollow] you will see the files page.

However, if you go to http://www.jfkassassinationtruth.com/index.php [nofollow] you will see the forum.

I am not understanding why I am not getting to the forum via www.jfkassassinationtruth.com [nofollow].

you would need to ask your host or check for any .htaccess files and remove them. this would be a hosting configuration issue most likely.

Or if can edit your .htaccess...

That looks like a winner!

The access had the forum/index.php still in it, and since I did away with that folder.......well.....yanno.....

Thanks I really appreciate the help!
