I’m trying to 301 Redirect the Index.php to another URL
Here’s my htaccess codes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
Redirect 301 /index.php /en1
RewriteRule en1 index.php [NC]
My domain for example is
www.mysite.com
I want this to work as
www.mysite.com/en1
In the URL bar its showing the new URL but browser says
The page isn’t redirecting properly
How to fix this 301 Redirect?
>Solution :
With your shown samples please try following .htaccess rules file. Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine ON
##External redirect rules here.
RewriteRule ^/?$ /en1 [R=301,L]
##Internal rewrite to index.php rules here.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^en1/?$ index.php [L]
OR If you want to write a Generic rule for rewriting each non-existing file to index.php then try following:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine ON
##External redirect rules here.
RewriteRule ^/?$ /en1 [R=301,L]
##Internal rewrite to index.php rules here.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
NOTE: Use either of rules set one at a time only.
