That reply is about to be stored, thanks for digging so much deeper than I
ever did.

I know where to come when (not IF) I get stuck LOL

Thanks Webado, I haven't taken it all in yet but I'll work at it. :)

I have to talk in terms of an Apache server, since that's all I'm
familiar enough with.

Actually that is the default index page name which is going to be
automatically fetched by the server for http accesses, when you give
the root address with no actual file name, or the address of any
subfolder, again with no file name. The server will look for the file

Clarify or confuse!

A webserver normally has a default file name and type, commonly index.htm
or index.html but just about anything else can be configured as well,
default.htm or home.htm for example.
The file type is given in the config for the server as accepting let's say
.htm .html .php, through the modrewrite and htaccess you can either add in

I don't know the specifics but it is used to ensure that various page
types are all fed to a common file.
The obvious is to feed a .html file to the .htm page from a typed or
linked address. It can also achieve the same for a .php page type.
On a site that might use a variety of pages, for example a mix of HTM and

Good question. I don't know, I found it that way somewhere and monkey
see, monkey do :)

I was happy enough that it worked, so mine's not to question ;)

Quick mod_rewrite syntax question

Hi Webado,

I notice you add the string "HTTP/" add the end of the following line:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*\/index\.html\ HTTP/

in you example on fixing canonical issues. I was wondering what impact
that has? I don't always see that added in other examples.

Thank you in advance.

Check the .htaccess in the main domain root folder. It has somehting that
tries to redirect when there's no traling alsh and it's wrong.

Also pleace check all .htaccess file. Every rewriterule has to ennd with
[R=301,NC, L}

For this:

rewritecond %{http_host} !^[link] [nc]

I think I clean all the code dealing with trailing slash now looks
like this:

<Ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +Indexes +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

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

rewritecond %{http_host} !^[link] [nc]

web...@gmail.com (webado) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:28:16 UT

This works:
[link]

So the problem is the adding or not adding of the trailing slash.

Remove the .htacess code dealign with that and let's see.

I'm at work, so won't be able to respond fast.

Hello Christina S,

I tried your suggestion in alexboutique but same result it's
redirecting to the public_html folder :(

Sorry for changing from comaiz to alexboutique though it's in the same

It loks like the HTTP_HOST values are as expected. 2) of coures using
alexboutique not comaiz.

Again I see no reason why the .htaccess as I had given it shoudlnt' work as
expected.

And I see yours isn't working quite right to 301 redirect AND transfer the
page uri properly.One mroe thing you cna try in the root of the main domain:

Sorry, you're right, I've already place the redirections again.

1) [link]
2) [link]
3) [link]

And goes to:
