title: Is it possible to make a Category page the homepage in magento?
body: <p>I would like to display a catergory page as my homepage rather than a CMS page as it seems to be difficult to get a CMS page to properly display items.</p>
  
  <p>I have gone to </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Url rewrite Management </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and created a url-rewrite for a category</p>
  
  <p>Then gone to </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>System|Configuration|Web|Default Pages| </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and changed </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Default Web URL</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>to my new url-rewrite from cms but I get a 404 error when I go to the root of my site.  Is there a way to redirect the root to a category rather than a CMS page?</p>
