I'm trying to route the homepage / to a specific template. In my routes.php file, i've tried these two without result:
return array(
'/' => 'specific/_entry',
'' => 'specific/_entry',
);

A site's home page is routed via a special route __home__. I don't believe you can set that in routes.php, but it's worth a shot. Generally, you specify a Single as the homepage, and can set the template there. It defaults to index.

Your right, was not able to set it with that variable. Commented Sep 17, 2015 at 13:50

Did you try routing through a plugin's
defineSiteRoutes()? I've no idea if it makes a difference compared toroutes.php. Commented Sep 17, 2015 at 15:14 -
2I don't think it would. I believe Craft does some scrubbing before it adds the
__home__entry to the route. It's using Yii's router class and I don't believe__home__to be a proper route. Why not use a Single or include the other template in theindex.htmltemplate? Commented Sep 17, 2015 at 16:16
