Hi,

I'm using LimeSurvey v2.0

I've changed my .htaccess file to read:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . http://[domain-name].com/index.php/survey/index/sid/383338/newtest/Y/lang/en
</IfModule>

I've done this so people visiting the domain are directed to the survey without any hassle.

This causes [domain-name].com/admin/ to redirect to said survey. I have to enter [domain-name].com/admin/index.php to access the back end.

Is there any way I can redirect visitors to the survey in a cleaner way? I envision this might cause errors I would prefer to avoid.

Thank you.

You just want to have default home page to a specific survey.

Then:
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php/survey/index/sid/383338/newtest/Y/lang/en [R=temp,L]

Thank you!

I knew it was a noob question. It had to do with .htaccess more than LimeSurvey.

Thanks again.

Complete htaccess for LS:

Thanks!

First I tried:

Which sort of worked. But your updated version is a lot more practical.

Maybe just set a redirection to your survey (using javascript or meta refresh tag) into the surveylist.pstpl file of you default template (template used by your platform root url; can be different than your survey template ).

I don't know if it's exactly what needed, but try it (disable htaccess for testing).

Forgive me if I misunderstand, but what bdesgin may be looking for is a "short URL" - this can be accomplished in the Apache httpd.conf (put at the end or put in your virtuals file) something like this:

This will redirect anybody that comes in on http://[domain]/shortURL to the default survey. Note that you can use multiples here if you have more than one survey.
