index.php 301 redirect to folder issue

[igor berger]

To prevent cononical duplication you need to rewrite index.php to the folder.

If anyone has tried doing it, they must have realized of the infinite loop it creates.

 

There is a solution! Check for server header request.

 

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.travelinasia.net/ [R=301,nc]

 

You can also doing the other way around folder to index.php

 

Canonical duplication is very bad for search engines, one must point all canonical domains to an authoritative domain.
