Redirect PHPBB forum's index.php

[lee_sufc]

I already have an htaccess file in my site to rediect non www to www.

I recently installed a phpbb forum and noticed when i click on the link to the forum (mysite.com/forum/), the link to "forum index" takes you to mysite.com/forum/index.php

Would Google class this as duplicate as both pages are the same?

Should mysite.com/forum/index.php be redirected to mysite.com/forum? And if so, how?

Many thanks!

The simplest answer is to modify the forum software so that it does not do this. Otherwise, you'll have to fight it at every turn, and a good solution may not be possible.

Look in your forum's admin configuration screen - you probably have the domain address specified there without the www.
