htaccess help needed

[ClubMed]

Lets assume I have a server called www.server.com and on this server I have a folder called /bingo.

I would like people to be forwarded to the folder /bingo whenever they type www.server.com into their browser.

I think I can do this using htaccess, but does anyone know what parameters I need to enter into the htaccess file?

Thank you.

Would this work:

Redirect / http://www.server.com/bingo

?

i know this method im about to give doesnt use htaccess, but its a solution you can use if you dont find out how to do it via htaccess

if you have php enabled on your server then:

open the index.php file for www.server.com and add this line to the top:

<? php header("Location: http://www.server.com/bingo"); ?>

that will take care of it.
