Forwarding index.html to root domain

To prevent duplicate content, I'd like to forward my domain.com/index.html to domain.com.

How do you set up .htaccess file for this?

Thanks!

 

Why does it matter? If your index.html page isn't linked anywhere then you should be fine.

 

Sure, this should be a foolproof one. It will work regardless if your page in html, php or htm

The last line will rewrite the index in your subfolders, so instead of domain.com/folder/index.html it will rewrite it to domain.com/folder/

If you only want the homepage to rewrite, simply remove the last line. Also change the yourdomain to your actual URL.

 

Thanks a lot! Just what I was asking for.
