[thelist] redirect home or home/ to home/index.php

[Bob Meetin]

Ordinary web home or webroot as it is called:

/home/$account/www/.htaccess

If someone visits www.$site.com or www.$site.com/ they will be 
redirected to www.$site.com/index.php

Someone I read that doing this can cause a redirect loop
