[Chameleon] Making chameleon work with index.php

Mon Aug 30 20:33:50 EDT 2004

Ken,

Just create a file called index.html in that directory (or whereever you want you user to come in), with the following source:

--------------------------------------------------------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Redirect</TITLE>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=/chameleon/test.phtml">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="ffffff">
</BODY>
</HTML>
--------------------------------------------------------

You have to change the URL based on what you need. This is the approach I use, and I should hopefully avoid the issue you have now, because the user actually comes in through that file.

Regards,

Jacob

I use IIS, but I gather from below all that is happening there is
index.html and test.phtml will be looked for if no file is specified in
the URL. So in this case www.rockies.ca/chameleon would look for
index.html or test.phtml, or maybe its saying use test.phtml instead of
index.html? We have the same settings for IIS and I have it setup and
working. The problem is it only works for the first load of chameleon,
after that it returns a page error whenever I try and use a tool.

I am guessing its something in the code that's using the URL to
determine the name of the file to load, and because
www.rockies.ca/chameleon doesn't list a specific filename its erroring
out.

Are you running Apache? Do you have access to your Apache configuration
file: httpd.conf?  If so this should work:

<Directory /home/www/htdocs/chameleon>
   DirectoryIndex index.html test.phtml
</Directory>
