Hi,
My domain is calimero.co.il.
My site home page is http://whatsoever/index.php/site/home.
How do I make that if someone type http://whatsoever he will find my site home page and not blank page?
Where is the definition for that?
The group site has the red little stare. the index.php in that group is empty (that was my intention).
I really need help.
thanks in advance.

By default, EE will use the index.php file in the default group as your site’s homepage. Is there a reason that you don’t want to put the contents of your site/home.php file in this site/index.php file? The easiest solution is to use site/index.php as your homepage.

The problem is that the site is “on the air”. what is the easy way to solve it now?

I should note that when I visit http://calimero.co.il/ I do not get a blank page; rather, I see the homepage, though incorrectly formatted.

You could set your index.php to redirect to the page you wish to use with a meta tag like this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://calimero.co.il/index.php/site/home">

Another, and perhaps better, option would be to use a 301 Redirect in a .htaccess file if you are familiar with setting that up.

You see that because I try to copy my site/home to site/index.php.
in a minute i’ll try your advice.

You are an angel!!!
is this is a dirty solution?

thanksssssss! I’ll study the 301 page and check it again.

The meta redirect has some downsides, but if you use it sparingly, it’s OK. The .htaccess solution is much better. Essentially, a 301 Redirect means that a page is permanently somewhere else.

If you do any future work in EE, the best way to go about this is just to use the index.php template in the default template group as the homepage. That way, you’ll never have to worry about tricky solutions, at least for this issue.

Glad to see you found a solution. Please post again as needed.
