Single page redirect loop?
Permalink
Ok, I'm trying to set up a site for my mother's travel agency. I added a single page at www.www.tropicbreezevacations.net/welcome.... It was working, I edited it and themed it with the "Splash" theme. I've enabled pretty url's and added the .htaccess file to the root.
Next, at my webhost (Dreamhost), I've set it up to redirect www.www.tropicbreezevacations.net... to www.www.tropicbreezevacations.net/welcome....
For some reason, I'm now getting a "Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects." (Firefox) Redirect Error.
If I remove the redirect through Dreamhost, everything is fine. I am new to this and thought it was pretty straight forward so I'm not sure what's going on here.
Another issue which might be tied together: when I access the page I set up as /welcome from the sitemap in the dashboard, the url is showing ashttp://www.tropicbreezevacations.net/index.php?cID=80index.php.... Does this mean the pretty url's are not working properly?
Basically, I am wanting all traffic to be redirected to the "Welcome" page so I can build the rest of the site. Am I not going about it in the correct way? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!!

try using this addon for the redirect:http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/page-redirect/...
Thanks, I'll install it now.
You could just have index.html/php, whatever and no links, as per your welcome page, no need to redirect?
Dashboard will give /index.php, because you're logged in.

Well I got the redirect to work. I wanted it to be easy to remove after I got the site built.
I'm now wondering why pretty url's aren't working. This is how it looks in IE & FF: http://www.tropicbreezevacations.net/index.php/welcome/...
I enabled them in the dashboard and added the .htaccess file to the root. I've found a few different posts about using pretty url's with Dreamhost but they're from 2008.
Any idea what's going on with it?

Oh, and the main post I could find was http://jeremeclaussen.com/blog/2010/3/30/concrete5-pretty-urls-and-... but I followed the directions exactly and still don't have the pretty urls. I'm not getting any errors, just still see index.php in the url.
Any info/advice on how to fix would be greatly appreciated.

2 of them suggest adding a ? and I've done that (and verified it's in the proper location).
I'm interested in using the patch found here http://www.gimmesoda.com/pretty-urls-with-concrete5-on-dreamhost/... but have no idea what to actually do.
