Creating Redirects to go to main domain

I've been creating redirects for pages that I no longer have.

The process has worked smoothly with the exception of one.

Redirect /index.html http://www.mydomain.com/index.php

I now have an index.php file and did get this to redirect to my index.php file.

Shouldn't I also be able to redirect this

Redirect /index.php http://www.mydomain.com/

I got an error message for this. What am I doing wrong?

 

I think you might find more answers in the design and development thread.

 

i this this thread is not in the correct room

 

I'll go to the design section.

 

I think u should opt for design section.
