Little Flustrated change Index.php

[stewart1]

Hi,
I installed the software to the folder directory. Now I'm trying to point all my pages to /directory/ instead of directory/index.php. How do I change link on the menu bar to reflect this?(Woodenly Template) without screwing everything up? Newest software version.

The other issue is, I'm trying to get a rewrite mod to work and point index.php to .com/directory/. My server says this works. Even if it does it's not on a 301 permanently moved. This is what is suppose to work according to them. I love this software, just a little flustrated.

I think you will see it's not working.

How do I change link on the menu bar to reflect this?

Go to Admin Panel >> Manage Pages >> Edit "index"
In the field "page external url" write "/directory/" and save the changes.

The other issue is, I'm trying to get a rewrite mod to work and point index.php to .com/directory/.

Before SECTION 1 add this rule:

RewriteRule ^redirected_url$ /directory/ [R=301,L]

where redirected_url is the url from where it should be redirected
