I know this must be annoying and I apologize for my ignorance, but there is something here I must be missing. I built a site over the last week with the pixelgreen base theme. When I type the fully qualified URL (www.domainname.tld/ I go the to home page as expected - All well and good - When I navigate around the site and select HOME from the top level menu, I get a blank page (the URL is looking for http://www.domainname.tld/home/ - which does not seem to exist or is redirected somehow. How can I get the 'home' page to display as both HOME and /? This may have worked briefly, as I didn't notice this until issue until recently. The site is at www.imakeit.net which is a workspace prior to moving to it's true domain so you can see for yourself. Any help appreciated.

It displays correct for me. It might be your cache. Try clearing your cache or adding a ?flush=1 at the end of your url:

http://www.imakeit.net/?flush=1

In the backend, you have a field where you can define that home page.

@grilldan: http://www.imakeit.net is fine. He talk about http://www.imakeit.net/home wich is blank.

A quick fix would be to write a rewrite script in the .htaccess file to go from /home/ to /.

Not sure how to add a rewrite script, but there must be something wrong for this to be acting the way it is. Here is my .htaccess file now - Am I missing something?

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif)|(\.jpg)|(\.png)|(\.css)|(\.js)|(\.php)$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

Your script is right. You can Google for ".htaccess rewrite" that should give you some good information about .htaccess rewrites.

My guess would be it is something like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^\home\$ \

But I don't know off the top of my head.

***just remembered somthing***

Is the name of your home page "home" or did you rename it? That could be the issue.

Mine is like:
### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectorySlash Off
</IfModule>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif)|(\.jpg)|(\.png)|(\.css)|(\.js)|(\.php)$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

And ... we are not talking about this image no? You must set an page as homepage. In that case, I think that you can't name another page Home. Is just a guess.
