Redirecting to custom homepage

[anmol dubey]

Hi,

I have made a custom homepage for my site which is at

http://dealschintu.com/forums/pages/homepage

I want the user hitting -dealschintu.com to get redirected to the new homepage - http://dealschintu.com/forums/pages/homepage. What is the best way to do it?

What i have already tried:

1. Tried adding below code to site htaccess - but it dint work

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?dealschintu.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ forums/pages/homepage [L]
​

Please suggest how do i get this working

Have you tried using a route filter on your page, and making the url change from

http://dealschintu.com/forums/pages/homepage

To

http://dealschintu.com/homepage

and changing the original settings which you changed earlier.
