Redirect "/" to "/home"? - El Forum - 01-08-2009
[eluser]kyleect[/eluser]
I'm trying to figure out what to add to my htaccess to redirect "/" to "/home" but to complicate things, the app may not be in the root directory. It could be a sub directory, like this:
http://localhost/app/
to
http://localhost/app/home
I have tried looking at mod_rewrite tutorials but still can't get it to work. This is what I've tried.
RewriteRule ^/$ /home
Which, does nothing. Please help!

You can set up "home" as your default controller and CI will redirect '/' to /home/index.

home is my default now, and that works but I want an actual redirect. This would be similar to how some people redirect www.domain.com to just domain.com

There is a redirect function in one of the CI helpers. Can't remember whcih, but it's there.

It's in the url helper (which is a good one to autoload
).Edit: Re-reading your post, for anything outside CI you will need to use mod_rewrite of course.

I know but I don't know the mod_rewrite to do it. Does anyone know the mod_rewrite to do this?

I don't know if this would work, and this might be a "hacky" solution, but what if you wrote a library like this:
Code:
class Home_redirect {
function Home_redirect(){
$CI =& get_instance();
%CI->load->helper('url');
if(count($CI->uri->segment_array()) == 0){
redirect('/home');
}
}
}and then autoloaded that library? Again, I didn't test it, but it might do what you need without using mod_rewrite.

I would prefer to do this with mod_rewrite, keeping it as "clean" as possible.

I agree it's a dirty solution and htaccess is the way to go (if possible). I would use this as a last resort myself.
