    • How can I main my existing root directories and make tiki be my main page.

    Posted by mmccoo posts: 1


    my website is pretty simple http://mmccoo.com. It's an index.html linking to a bunch of galleries in subdirs.

    I've installed tiki in a directory called wiki.

    I want to maintain index.html through tiki while keeping my existing directories.

    How can I configure things so when I go to mmccoo.com it actually loads mmccoo.com/wiki and still have access to mmccoo.com/

    I could change the root dir of my site to the wiki dir, but then my other dirs would no longer be visible.

    I hope the question makes sense.

    Thanks for your time

    There are a few things you can try but I would need more information about how would would like to continue accessing the mmccoo.com/index.html file after you set the /wiki/tiki-index.php file to load by default.

    You can set tiki to load even in the /wiki directory in a variety of ways. (I.E. Cpanel Redirector or a simple php redirector like the one shown below.)

    Copy to clipboard

    (This would be your new index.php file at the root of your domain.)

    ------------
    Accessing your old site would depend on how you need to do it. Can you rename the index.html file to something else and access it that way (http://www.mmccoo.com/galleries.html) which could then be linked to in your tiki menu?

    Or are you needing to access it via the actual domain and have the index.html file load by default?

    I hope that makes sense. 😊
