301 redirect question

hello,

I am using

RewriteRule (.*)/index-(.*)\.htm$ search.php?q=$1&s=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule (.*)/index(.*)\.htm$ search.php?q=$1 [QSA,L]

PHP:

and output is

http://www.site.com/xxxx/index.htm

if somobody writes http://www.site.com/xxxx/

it says ERROR 404 - PAGE NOT FOUND. Because obviously there is no folder called xxxx.

what can i do to solve this problem?

I want to redirect every query made to get

http://www.site.com/xxxx/

to

http://www.site.com/xxxx/index.htm

Thanks

 

Depending on your operating system on the server you can do a 'Force404'

So all page errors 404 will go to your customised error page and then you simply find a redirect script that will send them to whatever page you like!
