I would like to set up Coppermine as my homepage. The way my site was designed before is that I had a link to my gallery and forums. But since my site is mainly pics of my kids, I don't really need the first page, I'd rather have it go directly to the Coppermine Gallery. I know the main page is usually always index.html. So what Coppermine files do I need to modify?

Did some searches but didn't find the answers.

Thanks

Is CPG installed in the root or in a subfolder?

[Joshua]

Subfolder.

As we speek I'm installing to the root.

Should that do it?

Is there any file I need to modify?

Thanks for the reply Tranz.

You're welcome.

If you install it to root, then all you need to do is go to the domain and the gallery will be the home page because it is index.php. Just make sure you don't have any other index files that could conflict.

Now that solved it for root installations.  Is there a way to do the same if you haven't installed to the root?

[Nibbler]

Same way will work for installation in any directory.

Suppose your cpg installation is at http://yourdomain.com/cpg/ then you can make an index.php file in the root which will redirect the visitors to your cpg folder. Root index.php should have following code

Code: [Select]

<?php
  header("Location: cpg/index.php");
  exit;
?>
