.htaccess - redirect index.php and non www

[paulnic]

Hi,

I would like my .htaccess file to redirect the following urls to:

http://www.mysite.com/

The urls to redirect are:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php
http://mysite.com
http://mysite.com/index.php
mysite.com

The code below currently redirects http://www.mysite.com/index.php to http://www.mysite.com/ but i think it also redirects any missing (404) page to http://www.mysite.com/ as well... Anyway any help is greatly appreciated

Options +FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php
 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.mysite.com/ [R=301,L]
 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Thanks

Paul

hi there, following code causes missing file/directory redirect to index.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Could you demonstrate how to redirect mysite.com/index.php to www.mysite.com?

I'm having some what similar problem. What I have set up right now is all non www urls redirect to a www url.

Problem: Although technically it works, aside from the index page when ever I do not include a www. in the url of a particular page it redirects me to the index.php

Here is part of my .htaccess file:
## Begin - Joomla! core SEF Section.
#
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
#
# If the requested path and file is not /index.php and the request
# has not already been internally rewritten to the index.php script
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php
# and the request is for something within the component folder,
# or for the site root, or for an extensionless URL, or the
# requested URL ends with one of the listed extensions
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /component/|(/[^.]*|\.(php|html?|feed|pdf|vcf|raw))$ [NC]
# and the requested path and file doesn't directly match a physical file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# and the requested path and file doesn't directly match a physical folder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# internally rewrite the request to the index.php script
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
#
## End - Joomla! core SEF Section.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^alpineascent.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.alpineascent\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
