How can I redirect my blog?

[ashmoore]

I am trying to figure out how to leave my current serendipity installation where it is, but make it appear at the root.
What I mean is, instead of www.mydomain.com/serendipity have it work as www.mydomain.com/

I now this is possible, just don't know how to do it

Hi!

You can create a index.php file in your root with this content:

Code: Select all

<?php
header('Location: http://yourdomain/serendipity/');

this will then properly redirect to your blog.

Thanks Garvin,
That does indeed redirect.....
but I was hoping to get rid of the /serendipity/ from the url.

One of my friends showed me this for Wordpress which does exactly what I want.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordP ... _Directory
The link does not give too much real information though (normal for wordpress)

Hi!

This is possible for s9y, but then you need to physically move serendipity from /serendipity/ to /. This is outlined in the FAQ on www.s9y.org, but it's also a bit of work. Redirecting might be the painless option.

Serendipity uses different code includes like Wordpress, so it does not suffice to copy over index.php to the root and let it forward.

In that case I will leave it right were it is and be happy
