Hello,
perhaps anyone can help me. I'd like to disable the old front page 'node'. I created a new page using alias home. On settings, site information, I set this new front page. If I'm calling my website, I'm getting this new site and all seems fine. But if I'm entering the old url of the fronpage ('node' only) I'm getting the old page. I'd like to redirect node to my new front page home. Any suggestions how to do this?
I tried setting an alias to node. This doesn't work (Drupal doesn't allow this). I tried several modules like global redirect and front page. No solution. Please help me.
Thanks,
Helmut

Create an alias for the front page
If you are using the path module, you just create a new alias that goes from /node to whatever system url you are current using for the frontpage.
You're right. I tried to use
You're right. I tried to use home as system path and node as alias and this doesn't work, because home is already an alias. Now I used the node link (/node/1 for example) and it works. Drupal uses the home alias for this page. Fine! Thanks for your help.
