Simple redirect problem

[eluser]h0ly lag[/eluser]
On my website I have, *gasp* made of all things, a blog. Anyway, I'm already rewriting the URL's with mod_rewrite. Everything works great. Although there is one quirk I would like to try and fix. My website base dir loads my blog. But I don't want it to do that. I want it to redirect to /blog. Or at least look like it is. I have tried do simple .htaccess redirects amongst other things, but they don't seem to work properly.

so you want it that if someone visits your site: http://mysite.com

that they get redirected to : http://mysite.com/blog

?

[eluser]h0ly lag[/eluser]
Yes. But both the root dir, and /blog load the same page.

My tree is like this:

-mysite.com
--index.php
--system
--.htaccess

[eluser]Flemming[/eluser]
This should do it then:

Code:

# if no page selected
RewriteRule ^$ http://mysite.com/blog [L]

EDIT: and set your default route (in config > routes.php) to 'blog'

Brilliant! Thank you.

EDIT:
Waaaa! No IMG BBcode?
