Not sure how to word this one but will explain most I can.

I am trying to make the following happen.

  1. Re-write this http://example.com

  2. To this http://example.com/home/

Is it possible ?

update

Simone Carletti - the method you posted did not work, have you had this work ? Also would it visually change in the browser URL bar to say /home/

John Conde ♦ - this did not work either I was getting a warning from Firefox saying it would never complete so it did not load the page.

  • @danlefree He tagged the question as htaccess, thus we can assume he's using Apache.

If you want to redirect A to B, simply place the following directive in your .htaccess file:

Redirect / http://example.com/home/

If you want to rewrite / as /name

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/$ /home/ [L]

I'm not an expert at this so this may be wrong. If so, let me know so I can either correct it or delete it.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ /home/[L,R=301]
