Re: Simple redirection at the server level

I do this with a Refresh metatag (url="/PBDWeb"), but this causes a
round trip to the browser and the flash that is just not as professional

expert at Apache.  My guess is that a very simple Apache redirect
statement would do this, but I'm not sure where to specify it or how.

Try putting a ...

Redirect / http://www.plutabrothers.com/PBDWeb

... entry in or, if you want more flexible redirection, try using RewriteRules ...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteWrule ^/$ /PBDWeb/

Docs on Redirect can be found at http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_alias.html, and docs on Rewriting can be found at http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html

p.s. Experiment with these ... I'm typing them in from memory.
