I have the project folder where i have some html pages and i have the admin folder where i have the login and dashboard pages. The project is in some location http://localhost:8080/index.html. Now if the user types /admin eg. http://localhost:8080/admin i want to show the login page and am not using any backend language, how to do this. Can anyone tell me how to solve this issue.

You can use ngnix for client side project to redirect the request to index.html

server_name admin;
 location  /admin/ {
 proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
 proxy_redirect    / $request_uri;
}

If file name is not given in the url then web servers look for index files in this order index.html
index.htm
default.html
default.htm
home.html
home.htm
Index.html
Index.htm
Default.html
Default.htm
Home.html
Home.htm

rename your login.html file to one of the above.

  • The configuration of these pages is anything but universal, and is not guaranteed. – Brad Mar 01 '19 at 05:31
  • is there any other way to do – Sam Mar 01 '19 at 07:05
  • @lakshmipriya My answer was considering IIS is your web server. May be you should look into apache web server configuration. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex https://www.mkyong.com/apache/how-to-set-change-default-page-in-apache/ – Sagar Mar 01 '19 at 08:02
