Tried that but that isnt what i want because my forum is currently at mydomain.com/forums/
there is currently nothing at mydomain.com itself
you could try an html redirect form mydomain.com to mydomain.com/forums/portal.php
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Page Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/forums/portal.php"></HEAD>
<BODY>
any text here.
</BODY>
</html>
put this in your index.html or php at mydomain.com

I'd like www.mydomain.com to go to the portal.
My forum board is www.mydomain.com/forums/
And my portal is www.mydomain.com/forums/portal.php
I've already tried adding 'DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php index.html ' to the .ht
Did you place the .htaccess file inside of /forums/ and not just in the main directory? That's probably why it didn't work for you.
