How do i remove /index.php from url?

I need to strip /index.php part from my url

That is if someone opens my url http://www.mysite.com/index.php it should redirect to http://www.mysite.com/

How do i do this?

Thanks in advance

 

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/ 
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.site.com [R=301,L]

mad4, tried your code, but getting an infinite loop... not working

 

Probably your browser cache, try another browser or restart firefox.

 

Make sure that that none of the links within your site point to "/index.php" - always use "/" instad. Then you won't need to worry about it.

 

edit the httpd.conf, and add index.php in line:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

 

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ /$1.php [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

That should work.
