Subject: Re: How get www.site.com homepage requests to forward to Tomcat
without a redirect?
Removing the [R] from the RewriteRule breaks everything and no page
is served:
RewriteRule ^/$ /home.htm **does not work**
I'm curious: how does everyone else map the domain request to an
actual page???
domain.com --to--> domain.com/home.htm
Everyone must be doing this, right? What are other solutions for
doing this?
