DirectoryIndex portal.php
Add the following code in your htaccess;
DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php

Now ehen users go to index.php they will be redirected to portal.php page. Please Replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name.

Edit: Little too late Toungue
I added it in like this:
DirectoryIndex portal.php
OptionsIndexes portal.php

Options -MultiViews +FollowSymlinks -Indexes

Still goes to forums. Do i need to flush out a cache?
Add the following code in your htaccess;
DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php
He did do that Yaldaram...

@OP: Can you remove that OptionsIndexes as I have no idea what that is for and it might be interfering with DirectoryIndex. Smile
Removed the (OptionsIndexes portal.php) to no avail
I did however forget to mention that i used Portal Redirect (1.1.0) but it is deactivated. Does that make a difference?
Did you added that code ?
DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php

The previous code I gave have small thing missing so add the above code again.
Yes, I tried that also. Sorry, I should have mentioned that.
OptionsIndexes portal.php
DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php
Options -MultiViews +FollowSymlinks -Indexes

If that doesn't work it's probably due to host restrictions. Is there anything related in your server's error log?
