Hi, TASK#1 I need to redirect http://www.domainname.com/index.html to http://www.domainname.com. For the purpose I am using following code and it is working fine. RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.html RewriteRule ^(.*)index.html$ http://www.domainname.com/$1 [R=301,L] TASK#2 I also need to redirect http://www.domainname.com/folder/index.html to http://www.domainname.com/folder.html. For the purpose I am using following code and it is also working fine. Redirect 301 /folder/index.html http://www.domainname.com/folder.html However, the problem is that when I used both above specified codes together as given below, the task#2 code doesnt work and it starts redirecting http://www.domainname.com/folder/index.html to http://www.domainname.com/folder/ instead of http://www.domainname.com/folder.html Options FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
