Why dont u use apache for that?Just made the entries in apache ...when users will open that site..which u have made in apache.conf or httpd.conf file..they will see default page

Hi gaurav

Apache solution will work when we open the site by giving URL on the browser, but my requirement is when the user opens browser he should automatically get the page, as we use to set the homepage in the browser.

Ilias..

This is completely client side issue, you can set that in browser. Well, to start of you need to provide some URL then only it will work.. ie you need to tell browser to goto some specific address then only it will fetch some data to fetch.

Simply make a page in apache and set your browser to open that page everytime it starts.

Other method i can imagine is to redirect every first request from a client to a specific address.

That was the thing exactly i am thinking of, redirecting every first request from a client to a specific address.

But........ i have missed out on implimenation, i don't know how to put in place.
