htaccess question

[karmargin]

I've recently moved my site to new server and have started using php instead of html.

I've built my site so that it always references a folder "/example/" instead of "/exapmle/index.html".

However, some of my old pages "/index.html" got listed.

So now that my site is php and not html i would like to use a htaccess file to to redirect all "index.html" pages to "/". Can that be done? Would i use a mod_rewrite or 301?

cheers

Hi Karmargin,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

The best place to start getting an understanding of what you will need to do is in the library.

Apache Tutorials [webmasterworld.com]

What you will eventually end up doing is use mod_rewrite to generate a 301 redirect from /index.html to /.

Try your favorite search engine and you should be able to find a large number of examples of the exact code you are looking for here on WebmasterWorld.

EG
Redirect /index.html to / site:webmasterworld.com
(or something to that effect.)

Hope this helps.
Justin

Thanks for your help. All i've found so far is to redirect index.html to index.php. Will it work to go from index.html to /?
