A:

I'm not 100% sure but i guess that should be RewriteRule ^index.htm$ / [R=301] or something like this

Answer 2

+1 A:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.html? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?index\.html?$ /$1 [R=301,L]

This will translate all occurrences of index.html or index.htm to just the directory, recursively.

When you say "recursively", you mean this will work for all subdirectories within the site, I assume?

Yes, exactly. For all subdirectories.

That works great, many thanks. Just to note that I realised I needed to put this rule before my existing Wordpress one.

Answer 3

A:

Create an index.html, containing the code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="seconds;URL=the-other-url">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
You will be redirected...
</BODY>
</HTML>

Where "seconds" is the duration of the delay (in seconds) before the redirection. Set a "0" for instant redirect.

This is not a 301 redirect, depends on the client, and is generally considered bad practice.

How do I do this simple 301 redirect from index.htm to root?
