make "home" use index.php

Permalink
Hi,

when I've built a site on my previous favourite CMS it allowed me to have the index.htm as a holding page and keep access to the cms via index.php

Is it possible to temporarily make index.php the default home address on C5?

eghttp://www.website.com/index.php...

If so, where & how would I do this?

Many thanks
Andy

I'm not sure what you are asking... can you explain your situation more?

Do you want http://www.website.com to redirect to http://www.website.com/index.php ?

Basically, yes.

I want to put up a holding page (index.htm) while I develop the c5 site behind it (index.php)

Then to switch it on I just remove/rename index.htm and it's live on index.php :)

You should be able to do this manually, just add an index.html to the root of your site via FTP, this will by default show to the public.

Then for your development just go to /index.php and it will show you the c5 site.

Yup, realised that but it's a bit annoying when you click the logo or home link and it goes to the holding page. I suppose I could edit the template I'm building so those bits link to domain.com/index.php ....

Err... I think I just answered my own question :)
