I'm using movable type on my system and need to have it so that when people type in my url of www.smootherthanbutter.com they are automatically redirected to the main page of mt where my blog will be at www.smootherthanbutter.com/mt. How do I do this, the redirect in cpanel is not working for me. Thanks!

Hi,

That is similar to what happens on this website.

www.lunarforums.com redirects to www.lunarforums.com/forum

If you go to view and source, you will see how this is done.

It's done using frames.

I'm new to this but when I go to view and then source I don't see anything. What exactly am I supposed to do and what am I looking for? Thanks.

Save that as index.html and put it into your public_html directory.

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your page title</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<FRAMESET rows="100%,*" frameborder=no border=0 framespacing=0>
  <FRAME SRC="http://www.http://www.smootherthanbutter.com/mt" NAME="anything" MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0
SCROLLING=AUTO
target="_TOP">
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

Ok, I saved it as an index.html and placed it within my public_html directory but when I go to www.smootherthanbutter.com it still fails to redirect to my blog. What am I doing wrong?

An even better way would be creating a file index.php with the following content:

Code:
<?php

header&#40;"Location&#58; http&#58;//www.smootherthanbutter.com/mt/"&#41;;

?>


Make sure you remove index.html, because the webserver might use it as default document instead of the index.php. You can first name it test.php and test it by going to http://www.smootherthanbutter.com/test.php
