Topic: redirect

[dotolee]

I'm trying to redirect all requests for my
localhost/test/ site to go to localhost/test/default.php

right now, the contents of my index.shml file is being displayed when i navigate to the main web folder (http://localhost/test/)

I've modified my httpd.conf file to include the following entry:

Redirect permanent http://localhost/test/index.shtml http://localhost/test/default.php

That doesn't seem to be working... i'm still getting the content from the index.shtml displaying...

Also, one other question. By default, if i were to create a subfolder under the main web folder, will apache make it visible to the world?
eg. if localhost/test is pointing to c:\teststuff and i create a folder under it called c:\teststuff\abc, by default, should i be able to do the following in Internet Explorer:

http://localhost/test/abc/test.php

Please help!

Thanks.

1. I'd put it in the Directory Container for the test folder
DirectoryIndex default.php

Last question is yes
