Re-writing the root

Is it possible to rewrite the root ?

For example; domain.co.uk/ rewrites in the address bar as domain.co.uk/home/

开发者_StackOverflow社区/home/ already being a rewrite of index.php

This should work, redirecting to /home. Even though /home later rewrites as index.php.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ /home [L,R=301]
