Use it like this:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*?/|)index\.html$ / [L,R=301,NC]

How to enable PHP short tags ?

I am using
Apache Friends XAMPP (Basis Package) version 1.7.3
- Apache 2.2.14 (IPV6 enabled)
- MySQL 5.1.41 (Community Server) with PBXT engine 1.0.09-rc
- PHP 5.3.1 (PEAR, Mail_Mime, MDB2, Zend)
and i am running php files, that i code with <? ?> tags not <?php ?>. but the apache server won't execute my code, but if i try with <?php ?> tags, the code works. Anyone know how to enable the server to execute php code with <? ?> tags ?

  Why don't you use <?php then everywhere, the less configuration-dependent way of specifying php code?

  Its best to not use short tags though, they are on the way out, and you will someday have to go and change them all.

  You can enable the short tags, but take it as a sign that you'll have to start updating your code: short tags are deprecated and could vanish in any future version of PHP, leaving you with a large pile of unusable code.

  @Marc B: Short tags are not deprecated, although I agree they should not be used.

  @jasonbar: ohh yeah, it's also answer to my problem, sorry i didn't realized it's existencene before, should i delete this ? @all: ohh, well, thank you very much everyone, i don't know if it's deprecated, so it's better for me change everything before it's too late.. once again thanks!

  Ah, I see now that the decision was made to leave them in. Good enough. Thanks for getting me to go look.

  @Marc B: They might not be deprecated but that they are disabled by default is a strong sign not to use them.

Well, he needs to stop using short tags. This is just a temporary workaround until the ability to use them disappears entirely.

Try this one RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*)/index.html$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L] RewriteRule ^(.*)/index.html$ /test.php?a=$1 [R=301,L,NC]

The same 404error Thanks for try, maybe you know where can be this problem?

can you check Firebug -> Net? Is RewriteRule is giving 404 or it gives 404 after redirecting to example.com/$1

Have you ever tried to run the code by itself? Now, check the updates' new code if it will going to work.

Only 404 without redirect
