How to open an index page into a subdirectory without adding /index.html

Question

Simple question, let's pretend I have the following path:

http://example.com/subdir/index.html

I would like to be able to open that index.html page by typing this in the browser:

www.example.com/subdir

and hit enter to have the browser load its included index.html page.

Is that possible?

My goal is to have a few subdirectories with the same root domain ( example.com ) and be able to open the index.html pages of each subdirectory without having to add /index.html at the end.

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

For sub folders only put this in main root .htaccess file :

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteRule ^(.*)/index([\.html]*)$ /$1 [R=302,L] 

For entire website change it to this :

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteRule ^(.*)index([\.html]*)$ /$1 [R=302,L] 

So , any request with index or index.html will be removed .

Note : clear your browser cache then test it , if Ok change 302 to 301 to get permanent redirection

Answer 2

如果您的服务器运行的是Apache，则只需创建.htaccess文件（如果尚未创建），然后在文件顶部添加以下行：

DirectoryIndex index.html
