Root page rewrite

I've noticed that with each site I build, when I type the domain name of the site...www.mysite.com, the URL redirects to www.mysite.com/home.html, rather than just displaying it as www.mysite.com

I'm using the default htaccess with no mods, other than to add the domain to the www rewrite (lines 222/223).

These are 3.5x installs. Annoyingly, I did resolve this on 2 site about a year ago and have completely forgotten how...I recall spending ages working it out...duh!

Any thoughts?

Change the page alias of your start page from "home" to "index".

Awesome...thank you for this quick response...that's exactly what I figured out on the other site a year ago but for some reason I completely missed this whilst looking again...clearly not at my best...it;s been a long year!
