QUESTION Add index.php to URL

[loveelok]

Hi,

Now, URL is: http://demo.com/parentdemo/demo.html

I Need to custom URL to: http://demo.com/index.php/parentdemo/demo.html

Reason: Because My old website using joomla with this link, i want to keep old link for SEO.

Thanks

http://demo.com/index.php/parentdemo/demo.html
that url makes no sense and you should avoid using it
you can setup a permanent redirect in htaccess to tell seo to goto the new page

Thanks! But the problems is my customer want to use that link. Any way can do that?

Or can redirect from any link have index.php to no index.html

Ex: http://demo.com/index.php/parentdemo/demo.html => http://demo.com/parentdemo/demo.html

htaccess? Can you help me write rule?

Thanks

Someone can , if not I'll see if I have one, also there is probably and example in the forums.

But yeah that url makes no sense it has 2 files, although allows it might break some stuff on some servers or path parsing in pugins, also it is not a common or used pattern that I have ever seen. Your customer is confused.

I tried .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*)$ $1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ([A-Za-z0-9-]+).html$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

In Admin CP Custom Permalink Structure::

index.php/%parent%/%slug%.html

And It working with index.php/ in url!

This Link: http://demo.com/index.php/parentdemo/demo.html

Now is working. But i don't know it optimized or not
