Re: How to find or change homepage url
By "Miva home page" do you mean the SFNT page? Or your web site home page? Depending on how your site is set up those may be two different things - the first one being a page generated by Miva Merchant, the second being a static html page. If you are referring to the SFNT page, log in to MM admin and click on your store name. On the right you'll see a bunch of tabs. How many and what the actual tab names are will depend on whether you have OpenUI installed in your store, but, look for something like Headers/Footers - Store Screens. On that page the very first one should be "Store Front Welcome: Screen=SFNT". That's your Miva storefront or home page.

Re: How to find or change homepage url
I'm going to bump this since I'm wondering the same thing, but the answer provided isn't working for me. I need to make the SFNT page the home page, but the instructions provided above appear to no longer be accurate. I don't see this "Store Front Welcome: Screen=SFNT" anywhere. Has it moved in 5.5? Is it just no longer accurate?

Re: How to find or change homepage url
SFNT is still the storefront page in Miva Merchant v5.5 - just like it was since v1.0
If you want your visitors to be automatically directed to your Miva storefront page rather than index.html, edit your site .htaccess file (or create one if there isn't one already) and put this one line in it:
DirectoryIndex /mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT
(replace /mm5/ with the actual path if you installed your store in non-standard directory)

Re: How to find or change homepage url
Hi Afterdark
Everything I’ve seen or tried so far points to that not being possible in a web.config file. There is just no way to point it to a path for the file with a parameter like that.
Hope this helps

Re: How to find or change homepage url
Thank you but I figured it out...
<rule name="rule 1v" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^/*$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="//mm5/merchant.mvc" />
</rule>
Adding this code to the web.config file if I now go to http://www.MYDOMAIN.com it will load the miva homepage without redirecting.
Thank youJames Byrne, (USMC Vet.)
