redirect /index not entire directory

[ads112001]

I'd like to do a redirect in my htaccess. I want to redirect mysite.com/ to mysite.com/index-mobile.html but i only want to redirect mysite.com/index.html and not every file within the root directory. Any thoughts?

It is bad form to redirect TO a named index file.

Instead leave the URL as www.example.com/ by changing the DirectoryIndex directive to:

DirectoryIndex index-mobile.html

Link only to

www.example.com/

and not to a named index file.

Additionally, set up a 301 redirect such that when

(www.)example.com/index.html

is requested by a client, users are redirected to

www.example.com/

and the content is served at that URL.
