    Question VBulletin CMS url from index.php to root

    Hi everyone.

    I am trying to remove the index.php file from the url of my sites homepage. I thought this would automatically do this but it is not working for me.

    Apache install with only a .htaccess rewrite to remove www.

    So I would like:

    Code:
    http://wehypnosis.com/index.php
    
    to be:
    
    http://wehypnosis.com/
    And this .htaccess rewrite would not work:

    Code:
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    DirectoryIndex index.php
     
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://wehypnosis.com/ [R=301,L]
     
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php [L,QSA]
    All help greatfully received.

    You shouldn't need any of that.

    Just make sure you placed
    We Hypnosis Forum and Community - Home in the cms home page option without the index.php in vbseocp-> cms rewrite rules

    URL Rewrite Settings Works

    Hi Brian,

    Your right:

    I added the url:
    Code:
    http://wehypnosis.com/
    To the
    CMS Home

    Setting set as custom.

    In the
    URL Rewrite Settings

    Or vbseocp.php#crrs as the url in your vbseo settings.

    So http://wehypnosis.com is working perfectly. Thank you.
