    Hey,

    I want search engines and visitors to be directed to the domain without it being www.huxleygame.com/index.php I want it to be the domain without the index.php on the homepage.

    I am trying to use the .htaccess with 301's but it does not seem to work but it does work for the other extensions such as index.html.

    Thanks in advance!

    have you tried a php redirect?

    Try using this within your .htaccess file

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$
RewriteRule ^$ http://domain.com/ [L,R=301]
    Code (markup):
    Replace domain.com with the URL of your site

    You can use a free URL shortening/redirection facility such as Metamark.

    Edit: Sorry, I missed your "same domain name" requirement.
