Your virtual hosts have nothing to do most likely for redirecting your site from an index.html page.. If they are different domans or sites, well then, get the virtual domains to work.. and then just make a meta refresh tag to redirect after a second or so to the new or other page..

If your trying to setup two domains and same site in two different directories with two different virtual hosts, I really don't see the point.. why not just make it so your server recognizes index.php files as index type files and have it just go directly to that site or page..

More information on why your doing this and more details on what your actually trying to accomplish? Seems to me you just trying to go on with a very complex way, when it should be very simple.

ok

I have a index.html file in the root ( /var/www/html ) of my DIR were also my index.php is which is our main site.

I was wondering if i can get the domain name to load the index.html first then it kicks you to the index.php if your get my drft.
I have the file up there now.

http://www.rockinghamgateway.com/index.html

which should kick you to the index.php

Not that I know of.. if your wanting it to load after a certain amount of time.. it has to come from the pages themself, not the server. Why do you want to do it from apache? It works now from clicking on it..

But if you have index.html and index.php as default index type pages.. its probably better to just leave it at .html and just have that page load the .php named as index2.php or something like that afterwards, so anyone that just types in the domain always sees the splash page..

To tell you the truth though, I design web sites and I hate splash type pages, they just seem to delay the site I'm trying to get to and also seems they've gone out of style a while back.. but that's just my opinion though.

Thanks

I'm not to worried about it, i could always have it as a link in code for other sites to link, if you get my drift.

I've always wanted our logo to show up first, because it took myself and a mate some time to create the logo.

Hi mate i got it going, another mate showed me what to do

Just add


to the <VirtualHost *:80> under the httpd file like so


Thanks J for the code
