Okay, I've tracked down some .htaccess methods. Here are a list of the ones that SHOULD work for those out there trying to do the same thing:
Just create a text doc called .htaccess and put 1(!) of these in that file then upload to your root. Of course, change the yourwebsite.com to your website address, and the catalog folder to whatever you've called yours.
Code:
redirect 301 /index.php http://www.yourwebsite.com/catalog/index.php
DirectoryIndex catalog/index.php
Neither of these worked for me. In fact, I've tried a bunch of different syntaxes and methods and my htaccess file seems completely ignored. I made sure it was transfered in ASCII and set the permissions to 644 as was suggested, but nothing happens.
Can someone please enlighten me on what I'm doing wrong? Or what else I can check on our server? Yes, we're on an Apache Fedora server. I noticed that mod_rewrite was loaded, and url rewrite was set to "a=href,area=href,frame=src,form=,fieldset=" All gibberish to me, unfortunately.
