um im a server moron so alas here is how I do it.
I put in ticket with my server company on one of my managed boxes.
Then walla it is done.

However there is some apache code or some shit that can make any given page your main page. Like I said I am tech stupid, got that way over the years.

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^porn.html$ index.php [L]

rootyb · 10-23-2007, 10:21 AM

Yeah, just install wordpress to whatever directory porn.html is in (so wordpress' index.php and porn.html are in the same directory, find the .htaccess file in the folder (or make one), and put what v_rocks posted into it.

That should work for you.

PornMySex · 10-23-2007, 11:21 AM

I tried it and it didn' work.

I asked my host about it and he told me:

"Host ‎(20:19):
That will do the same thing that we were doing.
You just end up with a broken wordpress blog."

rootyb · 10-23-2007, 11:38 AM

Oops. You need to escape the period.

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^porn\.html index.php [L]

works on my WP install, but for some reason adds a trailing slash. *shrug*

your host is an idiot, get a new one fast

It seems to work without permalink. But when i put custom permalink, it redirects porn.html to 404 error ( i have no 404.php on my theme ).

That's the problem.
