[SOLVED]: htaccess lingo

[eluser]CroNiX[/eluser]
Is there a reason why you can't just use whatever is in index.html and put it in the view that is called from index() of your default controller?

Yes, because the site/application is supposed to be not accessible (including error pages etc) untill they crack the puzzle. After that it'll remain in front for a while, before reverting to the application index. If there is a way to do it in CI without access to the rest without a whole lot of code, sweet.

Got it!

Code:

RewriteRule ^$ /url.php [L]

So ^$ turned out to be the root. Sillyness! Thanks for the help.
