Need help with redirection please

Greetings apache gurus,

I need help with redirection please. My forum URL is

http://certcollection.org/forum/
or
http://certcollection.org/forum/index.php

What I want to do is when someone goes forum/index.php it should be redirected to forum/

Thx

 

Try
.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1

#or
#RewriteRule (.*) index.php

Code (markup):

 

Thx bro, but it didn't work.

 

Try this :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /forum/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /forum/index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://certcollection.org/forum/ [R=301,L] 
 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]

Code (markup):

Actually, the problem here is that any request for '/' is internally rewritten to 'index.php' by Apache mod_dir if DirectoryIndex contains index.php. So it's difficult to avoid a 500 error.

This code looks at THE_REQUEST variable and determines whether it's an internal redirect or a request from a browser or bot. THE_REQUEST contains the first line of HTTP request header. It is something like “GET /index.php HTTP/1.1″. So, by verifying this variable, we can make sure that it isn't an internal redirect.
If it's not an internal redirect, the code 301 redirects /index.php to "http://certcollection.org/forum/".
