Analytics added index.php to my pages

    My site has not one page that ends in index.php yet in Analytics all my pages have index.php added to them.

    Example:
    The homepage is shown by just typing the FQDN, no index.php.
    In Analytics it is shown as /index.php instead of /

    Is there something I need to change in the javscript?
    Is there an option in the analytics profile that caused this?

    What filename do you use for your index pages?

    1st of all, WOW that was a quick response.

    It's a WordPress blog. There is a rewrite rule in Apache that funnels everything to index.php

    To give another example:
    http://myblog/2009/11/03/what-is-it/
    will display that page in analytics it shows as
    /2009/11/03/what-is-it/index.php

    When I browse to:
    http://myblog/2009/11/03/what-is-it/index.php
    It's changed to
    http://myblog/2009/11/03/what-is-it/

    I have another WordPress blog that doesn't show have this behavior in Analytics.

    I didn't use real examples, as I don't know if that's allowed here :)

    Hm,, I think I know what is wrong.
    In analytics, the profile was changed. The default page setting was set to index.php, which is not necessary as the site never has a index.php. I guess I changed it but don't remember doing it.

    I just have to wait a few days to see the result.

    Yup that was it.
    Problem solved. It's funny how asking a question can set your brain on a certain path.
