[resolved] redirected URL showing incorrectly

sf2010 · 01-03-2007, 11:17 AM

hi guys-

i have a basic question re: URL redirects. Here is my setup:

abcompany.com has been developed which has:

1) index.html at the root directory;
2) A folder called "images" where the flash content is stored

abcompanyinc.com has not been developed

1) I used a "Redirect to URL" feature to redirect to abcompany.com

Typing the abcompanyinc.com in the browser does not show the splash page at the abcompany.com . Instead, it's showing a simple unix folder structure which has:
1) Parent Directory;
2) cgi-bin

If I click on the cgi-bin link, the browser shows the splash page?

I thought redirect will simply show the index page of the receving domain name? When I redirect, should I send to a specific file?

Can someone help me?

Thanks!

Kevin

Do you have an index file on abcompanyinc.com or abcompany.com

Sounds like abcompany.com needs a .htaccess file with this written in it.

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.html

The file needs to just be called .htaccess and placed in the root directory (same place as the index.html file)

Not quite sure about the "If I click on the cgi-bin link, the browser shows the splash page?" though.
