Hi, I have a slight .htaccess problem which is causing me a real pain. I need to find out what the best way of doing something is and whether it is likely to be my re-write rules or my server. I have two re-write rules:- RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://www.projectword\.co\.uk/index.php [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.projectword.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301] RewriteRule ^http://www.projectword.co.uk/index.php$ http://www.projectword.co.uk/ I basically want URL/index.php to re-direct to URL. This is because URL holds a page rank of 4 and URL/index.php holds a page rank of 3. I feel that it is being shared. So... What is the best way to do this, keeping as much rank as possible and.... Why does it plain and simply not work. No error, no re-direction. Nothing. I have other re-write rules that do work. I have tried each one individually. Would my server block some but let others through? Does it take time for it to be processed? Kind Regards Jamie
I do not think that .htaccess will solve your PR stuff. Google is not so stupid and it really knows that it is redirection. You can check your redirection stuff in webpagetest org where is shows how your pages are redirected.
