How to Auto Redirect Apache Default Webpage to a Specific Page

Introduction I wanted the default webpage of an internal server to go to the Cgi-bin directory so I could see my configs. Configuration Here's what I did. Log into the server via SSH. #sudo su So I could modify the default webpage as root. #nano /var/www/index.html This is the file that needed modifying, I changed it to the following code: <html> <head> <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://rancid/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/"> </head> </html> In my case, my internal server is called rancid and this was the page I wanted to access by default. In your case it will be a different server and different page probably so just needs modifying to your required page . Nice and easy.
