I recently took over the following domain - <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.cumberlandpanthers.com">http://www.cumberlandpanthers.com</a><!-- m --> and have been switching it over to a PostNuke site that resides at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.cumberlandpanthers.com/index.php">http://www.cumberlandpanthers.com/index.php</a><!-- m -->. />
<br />
The new page looks great and I couldn't be happier. My problem lies in having my domain name point to my new page. If you click on the old page, you can see that there is an animated gif that redirects to the old index page after 4 seconds. I would like to have it redirect to the new PHP index page, and I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how.<br />
<br />
I know that all I have to do is change the URL in the code on the page that contains the animated gif, but since the animated gif resides on a page that appears to not have a path after the domain, I don't know what to save the modified HTML as. In other words, the hosting service does not have a file called simply <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.cumberlandpanthers.com">www.cumberlandpanthers.com</a><!-- w -->, which is what this page appears to be called...<br />
<br />
Anyone able to offer me any tips? Any help would be greatly appreciated.<!--content-->You should email your host for specific details, but usually, when you see just the main domain name, it is really the index page.<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.domainname.com">http://www.domainname.com</a><!-- m --><br />
is actually the same as<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.domainname.com/index.html">http://www.domainname.com/index.html</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
So if you want your php page to be the "starting" page instead, just delete the "index.html" page and that should take care of it automatically.<br />
<br />
The host will look for a series of possible starting page names and show the first positive one it finds.<!--content-->Wow, thank you so much friend. As it turned out, the file name was index.shtml and I simply missed it.<br />
<br />
I cannot thank you enough for your help
