The code

#For redirect user to www.example.com if they ask for example.com

should be moved to be immediately after the code

#Redirect to index.html when ask for index.php

This code does not do what the comment says it should.

#Redirect to index.html when ask for index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /([^.]+)/?[^\ ]*\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)/$ http://www.example.com/$1/index.html? [R=301,L]

You should NOT redirect to index.html. You should redirect both index.html and index.php to "/".

The canonical URL for the site root should be "www.example.com/" and for a folder should be "example.com/folder/".

Hi g1smd,

Thanks for your very fast response.

When I posted this thread my site was giving the error of 500 Internal Server. I know this error means there is something wrong with .htaccess so I uploaded my backup .htaccess to the web but problem was not solved then I posted here. When I get your reply, I did not apply any changes and just to check my web I open it and that error does not shown. Now I am in confusion that what thing causes that problem and also solves it.

Can you tell me what the thing is behind this and what changes I must do to get away from this error.

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks
