Redirect 301 - Apache to index.html

To redirect use the following code in the HEAD section:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://example.com/" />

Additionally for older browsers if you add a quick link in case it doesn't refresh correctly:

<p><a href="http://example.com/">Redirect</a></p>

Will appear as:

Redirect

This will still allow you to get to where you're going with an additional click.

After the links have been set up use:

./path/to/apache2 configure -x

Restart Apache after:

./path/to/apache2 restart
