Question

Answer 1

A:

I think you want to set a page as front page on your Drupal site. Do the following

Create Content -> Page -> Publish Options -> select promoted to front page

I have set a page as front page. The /node page still exists and be defaults lists all nodes published to front page. I don't need this page at all and just want to display the home page (which is of Page type).

I agree with Kevin's solution but if you want a role based front page setting then you need install <a href="http://drupal.org/project/front">front</a> module, read the README file.

Answer 2

+2 A:

Thre is no setting for that. If you want to redirect to the frontpage, you will have to modify the .htaccess file with these lines:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^node(/)?$  / [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

It will redirect node and node/ to the path / , i.e. frontpage

Way too much. No need to do this and might have other consequences.

Kevin 2010-09-15 17:29:35

Not too much. I answered her question "I wish to sent /node to my page." And I think is very valid answer. In the other hand, if she only wanted to redirect her homepage (/ URL) to other page, your answer is enough.

corbacho 2010-09-15 18:10:16

Agree with corbacho. This makes sense.

Answer 3

+3 A:

Go into the admin, and go to the Site Information (/admin/settings/site-information). Change the site frontpage at the bottom to a node path of your choosing. This will set a new homepage. Nothing else needed.

Kevin 2010-09-15 17:28:39

I would also use hook_menu_alter() to nuke the /node page so visitors can't go looking for it.

Grayside 2010-09-15 23:38:56

The hook_menu_alter() was the bit I was missing.
