How to make the portal your index page

[Azagthoth]

hi

this is very simple, just open your .htaccess file (not the htaccess.txt) and add this at the top of the file

PHP Code:

DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php index.html index.htm 


that's all

salutes!!!

Where would I find the place to put this? And can this work while the plugin is activated?
I re-set the time to 0 as suggested in a previous thread, but it still only redirects when the cookies are cleared.

You could put this anywhere. Yes, you can have a plugin activated.

Just wondering because I already have DennisTT MyPortal redirect, but it is not redirecting. It is set at default to only redirect every 20 hours, but even if I change it to zero, it still doesnt redirect unless its your first visit of the day, or cookies are cleared. So I didnt want to conflict the plugin.
p.s.
Where do i find the .htaccess file?

in the root of your site, enter with your ftp to the root and there is the .htaccess

well, I found the .htaccess, but it is not a file, it shows just as a bunch of text (icon is a piece of paper with writing on it)

[Azagthoth]

the .htaccess is a file with nothing inside

well you can add the string in the .htaccess (download e re-upload it) but remember to use 644 chmod
