{URGENT} forum path issue

[applepod124]

when I go to www.mysite.com/ I get a page that says "Index of /" and then some subfolders then my cmps_index.php but I want it to go to mysite.com/cmps_index.php when I type mysite.com. How can I do this?

Rename cmps_index.php to index.php. Duh!

^^
just do what he said rename it to index but keep your old index somewhere safe incase something goes wrong (Y)

 

[Grinderhand]

If he had an index.php in the root, he wouldn't be seeing "Index of /".

 

[jcosta71292]

yh he proably deleted the other index, because for cmps on the instruction it tell you to rename it to index.php and keep a safe copy of the origian index.
he proably didnt see that bit on the instructions

there was a way within vBulletin to set the index to cmps_index, but either way it works.

I think you don't understand how CMPS works (or file priority for that matter). If you don't have an index.html or index.php in a folder, it will display the file listing of the folder instead of running the script to start things. CMPS specifically states in the instructions that you need to rename the cmps_index.php to index.php if you RTFM.

Unless you add a specific redirect to your .htaccess file to do a switch
or do the rename you can not access your site no matter WHAT you put in vBulletin. RTFM, you might learn something, maybe...
