How can I redirect xxxxxx.com/index.html to xxxxxx.com

Google starting showing xxxxxx.com/index.html for my site.

How do I do a 301 redirect to xxxxxx.com ?

 

hi

http://www.webconfs.com/how-to-redirect-a-webpage.php

 

I've tried this but it's not working.

RewriteRule ^index.htm$ http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L]

Thanks for the link. But I already know about that page.

Do you know how to do it?

 

try this PHP code

<?php

header("Location: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/index.php);

?>

Code (markup):

 

I need the code to do a 301 redirect to put in my .htaccess file

 

you are missing a parameter there

 

This is working for me.

Redirect requests for domain with index.html to www.

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ [url]http://www.example.com/[/url] [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

Wondering if anyone has a more simplified code. My hosting was giving a 403 error. When i got the site back on line, Google was indexing xxx.com/index.html

That put me in an infinite loop

 

Hi
the simplest way to to do this is the following code. My website (nexwiki.org) uses it.

Edit it in the htaccess.

redirect http://xxx.com/whatever http://www.yyy.xom/whatever

Code (markup):

hope it helps

 

Wasn't working because I'm using mod-rewrite

You should be using 301 in your code, so that Google sees it as a permanent redirection

redirect 301 http://xxx.com/whatever http://www.yyy.xom/whatever

Code (markup):

 

whats the difference though?

 

301 redirect is the best way to handle a permanent redirection

1) 301 redirect permanently redirects the URL
2) 302 redirect is temporary and may confuse search engines

Use this tool http://www.seologic.com/webmaster-tools/url-redirect.php to check that your redirection is working correctly. You should return

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

 

sweet thanks for the tip

 

You can do this from cpanel redirect option also.

 

The cpanel redirect option is limited

mod-rewrite is the way to go

 

i was thinking abt meta tag until i read the whole thread

 

Check my article about avoiding duplicate content on index page. Just replace index.php with index.html

 

I'm going to try that. Thanks for sharing.
