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?

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. :D

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.

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!
