Mod Rewrite Help...please

[DM_Web _Directory]

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question if not mods please move.

I am trying to redirect address...

http://internetmarketing.danielmillions.com/index.html

to

http://internetmarketing.danielmillions.com/

using a htaccess mod rewrite.

I can not get it to work for some reason. If some could post the script and help me out I would appreciate it.

Thanks

redirect 301 /index.html http://internetmarketing.danielmillions.com/

No need for mod_rewrite, which would be to redirect many pages, matching a pattern.

I tried this before and you can check http://internetmarketing.danielmillions.com/index.html
to see the error I get?

What else do you have in the .htaccess file? Post the whole file here.

[DM_Web _Directory]

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
redirect 301 /index.html http://internetmarketing.danielmillions.com/
</IfModule>

That is all that is in there on that subdomain

Erase all the rest and leave only this one line:

redirect 301 /index.html http://internetmarketing.danielmillions.com/

No.

Try removing the .htaccess file entirely to see if the error goes away.

The error remains on http://internetmarketing.danielmillions.com/ without the redirect.

I figured out, for some reason I had to name the index php instead of html

Thanks for your time - can I offer you a free submission to our directory for your help?

I was able to figure it out and did not even need a redirect to make it work. The address is a blog using the blogger.com service.

I had the blog saved as root/index.html when I changed it to root/index.php everything works fine for some reason.

Actually, I *don't* see the error any more.

All return the status code 200, but they redirect in the browser. This could mean a duplicate content penalty for the site.

Tested with: (You can add this site to your directory, too, if you'd like, but it's not necessary.)

I am going to add http://www.analogpoint.com/tools/webpageheaders.php to my tools page.

Thanks again for your time

Just a heads up, in FF the index.php doesn't redirect, don't feel like testing in others.
