Hello,
Say I have www.abc.com, and since I used a force type in .htaccess to add .php extension, my home page url actually is www.abc.com/index/. In public_html folder (linux share hosting), I have index.html that contains:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.abc.com/index/">
</head>
</html>

so that anyone enters www.abc.com, he/she will be transfered immediately to www.abc.com/index/

Question is it OK for search engines to transfer and spider www.abc.com/index/? No problem?

Thanks,
John

John,

This will leave them looking for /index/index.html.

Check out the DirectoryIndex directive in mod_dir [httpd.apache.org] in the Apache Documentation.

HTH,
Jim
