changing url of site

hey DP

i would like you help with this if a url is www.mysite.co.uk and a page is www.mysite.co.uk/index.html how do i change that page into www.mysite.co.uk/index

i know it is done with mod_rewrite or .htaccess but have no idea what im doing or how to do it

i want it to be categories for example tv series so mysite.co.uk would be a list of tv series family guy, south park, scrubs when clicked the url would be mysite.co.uk/familyguy , mysite.co.uk/southpark , mysite.co.uk/scrubs instead of mysite.co.uk/familyguy.html

cheers

 

I wouldn't point it to index/ you should just point it to the root

google "301 redirect" and you'll find tons of articles on how to do this

 

what do you mean ok i will have a search for 301 redirect

 

you're asking to move
site.com/index.html to site.com/index
I suggest just redirecting to
site.com/

 

i think i may of explained it badley

the idea is to have a url that says mysite.co.uk/ghostwhisperer and another one that is mysite.co.uk/familyguy ect

instead of mysite.co.uk/ghostwhisperer/index.html

 

He wants to do something like:

www.mysite.com/category.html

To

www.mysite.com/category

You would do that with the following code in a file called .htaccess in your root folder for that domain:

RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^category$ category.html [L]

Code (markup):

You then change the links on your site to /category instead of /category.html
