redirect url .htaccess
Hello experts
Quick question.
I'm using piwigo as a photo gallery site.
I want the frontpage to open a photo album and not the category view of albums.
I didn't find any piwigo way of doing it (or i must have overlooked it) so i'm looking to try it with .htaccess
I want my current URL :
http://www.mysite.com/gallery/
To default to:
http://www.mysite.com/gallery/index.php?/category/2
I tried
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^ index.php?/category/2 [R,L]
this puts the homefolder path in the url to making it break
it becomes http://www.mysite.com/home/domains/mysite.com/gallery/index.php?/category/2
Can anyone give me a quick shout on what the correct rewriterule is for what i'm trying to achieve ?

You can also try (syntax not double-checked):
Redirect permanent /gallery/ /gallery/index.php?/catego
Look up the Redirect syntax, though...I'm not sure if you need the leading slashes. Not even sure it will work, but I just wanted to throw this possibility out there in case you don't want to use mod_rewrite (even though you mentioned it in your question).
