In Webmaster Tools i noticed I had a duplicate entry for index.php and the base address. Should I put a permanent redirect from index.php to /, or does anyone have any other suggestions?
No need. Index.php is your base as well. Most of the sites have their homepage as index, main, or or something...so its not really duplicate. BTW who said duplicate titles are bad?
Yes, just food for thought really because there's two indexes for index.php and / and they're the same page.. so... don't know how it effects anything if at all
Try this www.google.co.in/index.html www.google.co.in Its same...so if Google is cool about it, so should be you
