Question

I have a site which has only ONE file: index.html.

I just want to redirect everything except for http://www.mysite.com/ to http://www.mysite.com/.

That includes /index.html, somephonydir/, somefile.txt, you name it — I don’t care what it is, I just want to redirect to /.

I’ve tried the following:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$
RewriteRule ^.*$ / [L]

This gives me a 500 Internal Server error.

Answer 1

I found the answer. I guess I forgot to actually tell it to redirect. 😉

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$
RewriteRule ^.*$ / [R=302,L]
