Landing on index.thml and redirecting to index.php goes into error (Beginner)

Kirby 3 Solved ✅
1

Skill Level: Beginner, but i can google use Putty, winscp and so on bla blub.

What i wanted to do: I wanted to have simple logo is opener for my website.
Since i struggle with PHP more than with HTML i just added a index.html redirecting to index.php.

I added under my apache a index.html and there i redirect into index.php of kirby.
→ div style=“text-align: center;” a href=“index.php” img src="wappen.jpg
^^ Looks like the form doesn´t like code.

But Kirby 3 doesnt want to be touched like this and gives me the error instead of loading the albums.
I tried to google my issue but it looks like i can´t frame my question right.

I have 2 options in my head i could try to configure it over apache to use something diffrent than index.html so kirby still believes it is the king of the index.php. But this doesn´t sound like the right way.

I would like to tell kriby to first open the image as own site and from there into the normal kirby pages.

But:

<?php require __DIR__ . '/kirby/bootstrap.php'; echo (new Kirby)->render(); ^^ This doesn´t speak to. And php i have 0 from 100 Possible skill points invested.

With Kirby, the index.php does not contain any content, compare to a static website. Therefore your approach does not work. Subpages are also not accessible with a .html or .php extension. Redirecting from index.html to index.php does not make sense. Check out the documentation for a better understanding:

This is it!!!

so instead of linking into the index.php i link directly into my "yourdomain.de/blog

If you create a folder called blog as direct child of the content folder, it will be accessible via https://yourdomain.com/blog etc.

Thanks, for the pointing me into the right direction.

Yes, that is correct! :ok_hand:
Also, don’t be confused by the template files: They have a .php extension, but they only contain the basic structure of the page. Only the folder name is always displayed in the frontend.
