Serendipity Forums

hi all,

i searched the forums for an solution of the following problem, but i couldn't find one:

i have s9y 1.1 installed (in the root directory) and url rewriting was automatically disabled (i guess my server doesn't support it). i am also using the staticpage-plugin.

what i would like to do is: redirecting from a directory to a static page, for example:

www.mypage.com/test

should be automatically redirected to

www.mypage.com/index.php?/test.html

what i already did is:
- creating the directory called "test"
- creating a index.html, which i put in this directory

then i tried the meta- and the javascript-redirection, but both redirects delivered the startpage of s9y instead of the page mentioned above.

i read in the forums that there is also the possiblity of redirecting with htaccess-files, but this seems to be a bit difficult and i am not sure if it would solve my problem.

does anybody know what could help?

Hi!

How does your .htaccess file currently look like?

If "index.html" should be opened when you call "/test" you must make sure that DirectoryIndex "index.html" is set in a .htaccess of the 'test' subdirectory.

HTH,

hi garvin,

that is what my htaccess in the root directory looks like at the moment:

# BEGIN s9y
DirectoryIndex /index.php

<Files *.tpl.php>
deny from all
</Files>

<Files *.tpl>
deny from all
</Files>

<Files *.sql>
deny from all
</Files>

<Files *.inc.php>
deny from all
</Files>

<Files *.db>
deny from all
</Files>

# END s9y

what i did now is to create a separate htaccess-file, that looks like this:

# BEGIN s9y
DirectoryIndex /index.html

# END s9y

i put that file in the test-directory, but when i want to open that directory now, an error occurs "access denied"...

Hi!

Use

DirectoryIndex index.html

so, remove that leading "/" in the subfolder's .htaccess.

HTH,
Garvin

hi garvin,
