Question

I am making changes in .htaccess file to change root path (/) to index.php?page=terms

Redirect /index.php /index.php?page=terms

but it shows error redirect too many times

Answer 1

Have you tried changing the name of the index page? For instance, redirecting from index.php to home.php?page=terms The page might be redirecting ALL index.php pages (including the index.php?page=terms ) since it is, after all, the same page just with a little bit of GET info in the URL.

Alternatively, you might want to just use something like:

    if(!isset($_GET["page"])){
      header("Location: index.php?page=terms");
    }

which will redirect if the ?page= isn't there. This doesn't require any .htaccess changes.
