Question

I spent the past half day looking for the solution here and in the manuals without luck so I am going to ask the question. I want to direct the users to a particular topic on the main web when they click an IP called wikiapps. Currently that takes them to the root /bin/view . I want them on root /bin/view/main or /bin/view/main/knowledgebase (this selection loses the webleftbar). The document root is C:/twiki . How can I redirect them?

Environment

Answer

Use Apache redirect. Create a file .htaccess in the directory your users will be landing in, and write:

# The first path here must be a URL path, not a file pathname
Redirect /index.html url_to_your_twiki_page
Redirect /bin/view/ url_to_your_twiki_page2
