Hi, i'm using MyBB for the first time and today i installed it, but the problem is that when i open my site there's an Index page showing "Index of / forum" and when i click on forum i got to the forum, but i want that when type the link to my site to open it normally as is, not with Index of / page.
I search here at the forum for threads about redirecting but as i say - i'm new and i don't understand what should i type inside htacess file.
Is there anyone who can help me?

Redirect /index.html http://www.mysitename.net16.net/forum/
It's not working because, it's again the same. When i type http://www.mysitename.net16.net it's not redirecting to http://www.mysitename.net16.net/forum and the Index of / page is again there.
I'm using 000webhost for hosting and domain.
All the files are inside public_html folder and maybe that's the problem.
It's supposed to be in public_html
I don't see why it wouldn't work.
try this in .htaccess
RedirectMatch 301 /index.php(.*) /forums/$1
rename forums to the correct subdirectory
The same thing (it's not working).
This is how htacess is looking (i talk about the htacess.txt (i have renamed it to .htacess) file that's inside with the files for MyBB) :
Options -MultiViews +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
RedirectMatch 301 /index.php(.*) /f/$1

I don't know what's going on and why it's not working, but maybe i'm doing something wrong.
iHydra, GamerVoid, it's not working again.
I tried with the both Redirect /index.html
http://mysite.net16.net/forum and Redirect 301 index.html
http://mysite.com/forum in the end and in the start of the file and again the Index of / page is there. I have tried many times and changed the positions of the code (in the start of the file, in the end, middle) and nothing....
I don't know what's going on but if someone can do something i'll give him the FTP details.

I forgotten to say that i talk about the non-www version of the site.
If i type the link to the site with www. it's redirecting to the forum, not first to Index of /, but if i type the link to the site without www. it's opening the Index of / page first and when i click on forum it's opening the forum.
Nevermind, i just want that when i type the site adress (with www. and without) the link to the site to be
www.mysite.com/forum, not
www.mysite.com.
That's all that i want to know how i can do that redirection to the main page of the site to the forum page where exactly is the main site (forum).
