Permanent redirect or other?

    Hi all,

    I have a site that used to have an index.html page now I have installed an article directory script and the index has become index.php.

    I see some crawling errors. I tried to insert a 301 permanent redirect in the htaccess file but the site cannot be crawled.

    What is the best way to redirect from the index.html to index.php?

    Thanks/Regards

    open index.html and enter this code :

    <META HTTP-EQUIV='Refresh' CONTENT='0; url=http://www.yoursite.com/index.php'>
    Code (markup):
    chang the domain name .

    good luck bro

    Use this in .htaccess to insert 301 redirect for index.html to index.php
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^index.html index.php

    use 301 redirect for redirecting index.html to index.php, use below code

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.html
    RewriteRule ^(.*)index.html$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    dont be panic, it will take some to crawl new redirected pages.
