How can I use .htaccess rewrite to redirect root URL to subdirectory? (19 answers)

Closed 9 years ago.

I have centos server, I want to see my websile url along with /index.php in the address bar.

When I'm trying to access my website www.example.com, I want to see the url of the webpage should be www.example.com/index.php in the address bar.

I hope it will work by configuring .htaccess file. I'm not familiar with .htaccess.

Answer 1

RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L,R=301]

Answer 2

If index.php is in the DirectoryIndex list, you're doing a needless redirect/rewrite.
