don't where to put this topic, so i posted here...

Imagine you have a domain, www.domain.net , and when you type on your browser www.domain.net it will look for the file specified on the apache httpd.conf:

# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.
#

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php index.phtml index.cgi index.asp



The question is.. how can i put on my account, some option to change the default file index.html or whatever to use by DEFAULT the cgidir/ultimatebb.cgi file?

At the moment i have this on the index.html file:


But it takes a little time to redirect to the ultimatebbb.cgi

Hope i could explain myself well wink
Any help is appreciated
Tks

Put this in a file named .htaccess and hope that your host has mod_rewite turned on.


RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^$ /cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi [R]


Adjust the path to ultimatebb as necesary.

In a .htaccess

Redirect / http://yourdomain.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

You might try that...

The Prohacker: that you suggested doesn't work... it makes some kind of a lot of requests.. look at access_log:

[26/Jun/2001:21:23:39 +0100] "GET
/cgi/ultimatebb.cgicgi/ultimatebb.cgicgi/ultimatebb.cgicgi/ultimatebb.cgicgi/ultimatebb.cgicgi/ultimatebb.cgicgi/ultimatebb.cgicgi/ultimatebb.cgicgi/ultimatebb.cgicgi/ultimatebb.cg i ... and so on...

Server is running Linux Slackware

tks

well... i'm just a user, i'm not admin of the server, anyway i looked on httpd.conf, no such line matching AllowOveride All

What can i do?
I use the .htaccess on other directory's of the server with other funcions and it works...

well... after a long search on some rtfm's of apache, i solved it out!

in .htaccess just put:

Options +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex /cgi/ultimatebb.cgi


it will run without any problem smile
