301 redirect domain.com/index.php to domain.com

[digitalpimp]

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index\.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ [domain.com...] [R=301,L]

Ivetried the above and it works fine redirecting index.php but some urls end in /index.php?someotherstuffhere which also redirect to domain.com/ so the pages never load

Can someone tell me how to change it so its only index.php exactly gets redirected and those other pages work as normal

Change the RewriteCond pattern so that it matches only if there is no query string following index.php:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^([^/]+/)*index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index\.php
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index.php$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Other tweaks to improve pattern-matching speed.
