Htaccess rule to redirect domain to index.html

Question

如何编写将访问者重定向到域www.mydomain.com/到www.mydomain.com/index.html的重写规则？

Answer 1

So you want to redirect nothing ( ^$ ) to index.html ? That would then look like

RewriteRule ^$ index.html [L]

If you want to avoid both the / and /index.html being indexed by search bots, then add R=301 to make it a permanent redirect rather than a temporary redirect (302, which is the default). This would let the bots only index the /index.html .

RewriteRule ^$ index.html [R=301,L]

Answer 2

What BalusC said - but consider whether you really want to redirect them. Wouldn't it be better to just serve index.html when the browser requests / , like most servers do? It's an extra round-trip to the server for no gain and just makes the URL longer. It's so 1990s. :)

Answer 3

One way is to put your index.html in another folder, for exemple: domain.com/welcome/index.html and do a R301 from your CPanel. It's a wordaround but it worked for me. Have the same issue.

Answer 4

Is it possible there's a mistake above? It didn't work for me, redirecting me to a very long filepath ending in /index.html The code that worked for me is:

# These two lines redirect the root to index.html.
RewriteRule ^$ /index.html [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/$ /index.html [R=301,L]

I found this solution at .htaccess redirect root to index.php
