Page redirects (301?)

[heavywater]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to neaten up some addresses at the moment. The website has a frame (in index.php) and php content inside for separate pages (index.php?id=Roster etc).

I've been playing with the htaccess file and I've got site.com/index.php to redirect to site.com. This means that the roster is now at site.com/?id=Roster.

Is there any way to redirect that to site.com/roster? I'm not sure if it's easy to do with htaccess or whether it should be a 301 redirect at all. :|

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

Hmm, tried that code before, didn't work.


Is it silly to redirect index.php to the root? :(

[Smifis]

yes, because when you visit the root dir, it loads index.php and results in a redirect loop.

That code should work, I'm using it right now :O


where are you sticking it? :lol:

[heavywater]

In the .htaccess file. :confused:

Apache server?

also, check the there isn't any space at the begining of the file, rename it on the server via ftp too.

[heavywater]

Yup, Apache.

The beginning of the file has some group permissions and some 301 redirects.

[Smifis]

i meant the file name, my bad.

Could you post up your htaccess file?

[heavywater]

Give me a sec, I'll PM you the code. :)

[Smifis]

Okies!

[heavywater]

Lol, wrote that and completely forgot to send it. :D
