Htaccess Rewrites

[Klement69]

Hi, I'm battling with duplicate content and would love to fix some redirections in my htaccess file:

1. I'm trying to use the www version of my site via 301

2. I'm trying to remove ALL /index.php from my url's

I currently have the following code, but my home page /index.php is still not redirecting to the root?

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +Indexes

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^funeralcoverfinder.co.za$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.FuneralCoverFinder.co.za/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode[^(]([^)]) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (<|%3C)([^s]s)+cript.(>|%3E) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|[|%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|[|%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
RewriteRule .* index.php [F]

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /component/|(/[^.]|.(php|html?|feed|pdf|vcf|raw))$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]</ifmodule>

Any Advice? - Thanks so much!

Hi, 1. Your redirect to www should work. If that isn't working, that might be a sign that mod_rewrite is disabled and in that case, I'd check with your hosting company to verify the server config.

2. As for the index.php, I wasn't able to get your code working. Here is a code snippet that should remove index.php from all your URLs. It is similar to what you are using, but matches in a different way.

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.index.php\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^(.)index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]

Hope that helps. Thanks,
Matthew
