    Hi

    I’m using EE 2.1.3 on Engine Hosting S1 package, and I’m trying unsuccessfully to simply change “index.php” to “world”

    I’ve followed the standard steps as shown on http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/installation/renaming_index.html

    In General Configuration I’ve changed “Name of your site’s index page” to world

    I have a .htaccess file in the root with the following code:

    <Files world>

      AcceptPathInfo on

      SetOutputFilter PHP

      SetInputFilter PHP

    </Files>

    but no joy! just getting a 404 error when I try and access anything with domainname/world/

    I haven’t repointed the nameserver to this domain yet, so it’s still on mydomain.ehclients.com subdomain at the moment. Would that have any influence?

    ok problem solved - the other htaccess command worked:

    <Files world>

      ForceType application/x-httpd-php

    </Files>

    Had tried this before, but must have a typo or something…

    Sorry to waste anyone’s time… nothing to see here… move along… that’s it… keep it moving.

    Thanks people : )
