[sixeleven]

hi
i have redirected my website url "index.php" to root by ,adding this peaces of code to my .htaccess

example.com/index.php to example.com

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

but this ,code also forward ,my login url ,and this cause problem to me to enter my website's admin

the url of admin is :

example.com/administrator/index.php

how i can ,define a code in .htaccess ,that it forward all the index.php url to root except /administrator/ directory.

If you can't find a way to get this working effectivley, it may save you time entering code into the index.php file

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == "/index.php")
{
header ('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header ('Location: /');
}

Add this to your existing rule:

RewriteCond $1 !^administrator/

Set up another RewriteCond that says to process the rule only if the folder is not the admin folder.

The not is done with a ! as the prefix.
