Why would you want to do this :roll:
Is your store not located in the root :question:

[darkvale]

The reason why i want to do this is because, my home page doesn't have the products i am selling on it its full on text on the home screen
i would like the customer to be places into a category of my choice you see.

I am very new to php and i suck really bad, i cannot get featured products to work, so thats not helping either, all im trying to say really is i would like some nice shots of my products on the front page or a redirect to show my customers my items.

thanks

a confused php noob

Really you should not be redirecting it's bad for Search engines :roll:
I will get your featured products to work send over the FTP details & Backoffice login access

[darkvale]

Oh wow, thankyou so much i will send that to you now.

thanks

amw, what about a 301 permanent redirect. Is that not search engine friendly?

There's also the canonical issues of www versus no www, that needs a 301 permanent redirect too to avoid duplicate content
