Htaccess Redirect issues in joomla

Question

Please help me with a redirect issue.

I am trying to redirect from http://www.project/index.php/blog to http://www.project/blog.

I tried the following but it did not work

RewriteRule ^(blog)$ ./index.php/ [L]         

Answer 1

Give this a try:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
Rewriterule ^index.php/blog(.*)$ http://www.project/blog$1 [r=301,nc]

Answer 2

If you want to append the requested path info at index.php, you might use this RewriteRule

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php
RewriteRule ^ /index.php%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
