If you don't have a .htaccess file, you can just create one.

Also, have you tried the "Manage Redirects" in cpanel?

Yes, but i had no result or i did that also wrong...i feel a bit hopeless now, and i don't know where it is wrong...

The plan was to have 2 folders, one for the web site and one for the test web site....

so i installed in /mambo the Web Site.

Then went to manage redirect and tried several settings.

like http://domain.com/mambo/ --> http://domain.com

But if you know it, then yes please..i thought that the redirects where ment for these things

Try this:

In your redirect setup page in cpanel, put

mambo/

in the first box, and put

domain.com

in the second box, without http://.

Should work.

I just set a similar one up. Go to http://subdomainplaza.net/test/ to see what I mean. Just ignore the parked page you see.

That's exactly how mine looks when I go to my redirects page. It's weird that it doesn't work for you. Maybe your hosting provider made your .htaccess file unwritable or something, preventing it from working.

I suggest asking them about it because someone needs to look at it to find the problem.
