Hi ponchaz and welcome to the forum Try this after what you already have RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.html
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/ [R=301,L] HTH

Wait. There are multiple problems with that. First. That code only works for the single index file located in the site root. You should fix this for all folders at any level. There's example code posted in many prior threads. Second. If you place this redirect after your non-www to www redirect then you create an unwanted redirection chain for a non-www request that contains the index filename. To fix this, use the example code posted in earlier threads, and place that code before the general non-www to www redirect. Be aware that your non-www to www redirect code can be improved in several subtle ways too. Several prior threads discuss the reasons.

# Externally redirect requests for index.html in any directory to "/" in that directory
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.html$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# Externally redirect requests for *all* non-canonical hostnames to canonical hostname,

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

That's the one! However, I usually replace the \.html part with something like \.(s?html?¦php[45]?¦[aj]spx?¦cfm) to make it more universal.

A balance would likely be best: I'd recommend redirecting only index.xyz URLs that actually exist on your site, or that have existed on your site in the past and still have inbound links. Jim
