Thread

is it possible to have the first page (index.php) come from a directory below the root folder rather than the Expression Engine index.php file? i tried using the redirect EE tag {redirect='http://mySite.com/2012/index.php'} in the index page of the template group but got an error message that the site was using a redirect. i need the index page to not use EE but all other pages to use EE.

is moving all of EE to a folder lower than the root the answer?...just wanting to check before moving all those files and to make sure it is something that i won’t be causing a fatal error in trying…

Hi internet endeavor,

If you place the following in your .htaccess file you can control the order of which file displays when at the root of the site. As long as index.php is after what you want to be used you should be fine.

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

Please let me know if this works for you.
