This is all I want to do, nothing more - using .htaccess: Here's a few examples: http://mydomain.com http://mydomain.com/index.html http://mydomain.com/index.htm http://mydomain.com/index.php http://www.mydomain.com/index.php http://www.mydomain.com/index.html http://www.mydomain.com/index.htm all redirect to: http://www.mydomain.com/ http://mydomain.com/subdir http://mydomain.com/subdir/index.html http://mydomain.com/subdir/index.htm http://mydomain.com/subdir/index.php http://www.mydomain.com/subdir/index.php http://www.mydomain.com/subdir/index.html http://www.mydomain.com/subdir/index.htm all redirect to: http://www.mydomain.com/subdir/ Code (markup): I am just looking for the best code to do this and I have seen it done a bunch of different ways in this forum with many differing suggestions. I can not seem to understand the specifics and I need to get it right as I have changed my entire site to point to / only and I am waiting to upload until I get this right. Thanks! This is what I currently have: RewriteEngine on # Redirect index in any directory to root of that directory RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /([^/]+/)*index(\.[a-z0-9]+)?[^\ ]*\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index(\.[a-z0-9]+)?$ http://www.website.com/$1? [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www\.website\.com/$1 [R=301,L] Code (markup):
If I understand what you want correctly, it is a simple two-liner for index.php and a two-liner for index.html: RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php RewriteRule (.*)index\.php$ /$1 [R=301]
