Google analytics setting - unifying index.php + / base directory

[Cod3r]

In Google Analytics, "top content" tab, I can see something like
this :

/
251 17.63%
/form.php
197 13.83%
/index.php
168 11.80%
/indepen.php
122 8.57%
[...]

As you can see the first page and the third page are the same... But
analytics does not understand that / is the same as index.php and show
them separately, while it SHOULD add them together and display them as
a single page.

How do I set it so both these numbers/stats become one and the same?

Note: This post might be slightly off topic since it has to do with
google analytics, but not the API. But I asked this question elsewhere
and nobody seems to know the answer... I am hoping you GA API coders
will have a better ideas since you are the GA advanced users.

will creating an htaccess 301 redirect from index.php to the main
domain work? and are there any risks of creating a loop? (the web
server direction the main domain to index.php, then index.php being
redirected to the domain...)

Hi,

General implementation questions should go to our general help forum:

The answer is to configure your default pages through the admin

Hi,

I had index.php set as my homepage since the beginning (months ago)
but I still see separate statistics for index.php and /

Could this be a bug

Hi,

Our approach at ShufflePoint is to do a post-query transform on the
feed with a regex-based aggregation of pagePath metrics.
