How To Redirect /index.php

[AndyNauman]

In standard .htaccess, redirecting /index.php to / is done with code similar to this:

 

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.php

RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

 

However this doesn't seem to be the case with the auto-gen .htaccess file in PrestaShop 1.6.0.9

 

I am trying to redirect www.plaquesawards.com/index.php to the home page and it gets stuck in a loop.

 

Debugging is turned off, Caching page screenshot attached. Thanks in advance for the help.
