mrX June 2, 2006 Share mrX GC Alumni June 2, 2006 I've been slowly working on the website for my office. But now that I accept credit cards for payment via the website, it has become somewhat of a priority to finish it as clients are being directed to the site for payment. I've looked around on my hosting service and can't figure this out. When I refer someone to the site I tell them to go to jdrlaw.com or reynardlaw.com which brings them to this in their browser bar: http://www.reynardlaw.com/index.html When/if they bookmark that, the whole thing gets bookmarked, including the "index.html". I'd like for it to only show and bookmark "http://reynardlaw.com" (at least I think, so long as it doesn't effect search engine crawlers as I'm trying to follow some SEO tips). Any help would be appreciated, or tips on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie June 2, 2006 Share mookie GC Alumni June 2, 2006 http://www.reynardlaw.com/ If you can control the configuration of the server, then this link should not change URLs to http://www.reynardlaw.com/index.html when you go there. I use Apache and what it does by default is serve index.html out of a directory as that directory (i.e. it reponds to my query for http://localhost/ with the file index.html). What your website does right now is resonds to a query for / with an empty-page containing only a redirection to /index.html: <head> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.reynardlaw.com/index.html" /> </head> Basically you need to make the webserver serve index.html instead of serving a redirect to index.html. I don't think there's any way for a website to easily falsify the address bar (which would be what you're looking for I guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrX June 4, 2006 Author Share mrX GC Alumni June 4, 2006 What's actually happening now is that http://reynardlaw.com goes directly to http://reynardlaw.com/mambo , which doesn't exist. My 404 error handling redirects to default.htm (I've changed some things from the original post, index.html is now default.htm which is what my server should point at). I'm hosted by godaddy, and think it's a problem with their server. I previously had mambo installed as a content manager, but uninstalled it. However the direction to it still exists.
