Default Getting rid of index.php?
How do you get rid of the index.php? in the url?

I would like my URL to read:
http://www.women4fitness.com/forums/

not
http://www.women4fitness.com/forums/index.php?


I find, that by doing this I get a better PR on google for my forums page.

Could someone please point me in the right direction.


Thanks
Iceman

AFAIK, if google *could* see /forums/, it would be the list of directories and files in that directory...not what it sees when it goes to /forums/index.php

If I'm incorrect, someone please say.

Its possible i believe you just edit apaches httpd.conf and remove *.php for root directory therfore even if index.php exists it will just show a list of files, but index.php will still be viewable

Here's an example of my other site (using Vb2)

http://www.intense-training.com/forums/ (has a 4/10 PR)
http://www.intense-training.com/forums/index.php3?s= (has a 0/10 PR)

But the funny thing is, they are the same page!


Google just seems to except a cleaner, shorter link!

I know it has something to do with the htaccess and re-write rules, I just forget how I did it all!

Uhhh... most Apache servers that have PHP installed on them have "index.php" set as one of the root files shown, so pointing all links to "/forums/" will automatically link to "index.php" (or index.html first if it exists)


Just alter your links. The php file should stay where it is.

To elaborate just a little, look at the 'DirectoryIndex' setting in httpd.conf - either as a global setting or a virtual server setting

subdomain wouldn't hurt.

instead of mysite.com/forums
it would be

http://forums.mysite.com
