How do I add a front page to my forum?

[Thudner Gaming]

I want to add an main page that brings you to the forum how do I do that?

[WEB-PROS]

Have a index.php file that includes


header "Location : forums/"


forums/ being the directory of your forum.


Really this question should not be asked on here, i felt kind.

You need to setup a redirect to the domainname.com/forum

header "Location : forums/"

HTTP/1.1 requires the 'location' header to contain an absolute URI and not a relative one.

Furthermore, the correct usage is:

header("Location: URI");

You are correct however i have used it without full urls and it has worked correctly. However you are totaly correct.

Yeah, it shouldn't be asked here unless you want to know how to do it within cPanel. Which you don't need to do. It's simply creating a redirection file.

You are correct however i have used it without full urls and it has worked correctly. However you are totaly correct.

HTTP clients don't, according to the RFCs, have to understand relative URLs in redirects and so some HTTP clients may simply not respond correctly.

I doubt, however, that any such clients actually exist. As I indicated, I was just being pedantic!
