301 Redirect

Hi guys,

I'm trying redirect my site's index.htm file to index.php (which I'm hoping will carry over the PR). I can get it to work if I type index.htm but I can't get it to work for just typing in the URL alone without index.htm on the end.

Here's what I have in my .htaccess file:

redirect 301 /index.htm http://www.travoholic.com/index.php

What do I need to type to have http://www.travoholic.com redirect to the PHP page?

Thanks!
Kirsty

 

You should not redirect the / page, it would be better for both the users and the search engines to make /index.php to be the default page for the / page in the Apache configuration files, if you would try to load the page http://www.travoholic.com/ then the content of page http://www.travoholic.com/index.php would load without any redirects.

 

Thanks but how do I do that? And would that still pass along the PR?

THanks!
