I don't know your exact name for the main file that loads the portal (portal.php?). But normally you would use a .htaccess file in your forum root directory. There is probably one there right now. Just add this to it.

Code: Select all

DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php

This is IF your file to load the portal is called portal.php. If different, change the portal.php in your .htaccess to the name of the file you wish to load.
If that's too much for you to work out, (it's very easy), we can use a meta redirect.

I added it to my .htacces file, but it seems that nothing happens... The names 'index.php' and 'portal.php' are correct...

Should work correct. Please post link to your board.

Then it works: http://www.wrenchconnection.net/ leads to the portal as start page.

Ok, now it works! Big thanks Stoker and Vox!
