Redirect /index.php

[gleb]

From a SEO point of view I want to redirect www.mysite.com/index.php to www.mysite.com/ . They both are the same pages with different urls and I think the search engines will see this as duplicate content.

I already did a redirect from mysite.com to www.mysite.com by changing the .htaccess file. How can I do the redirect of index.php without causing infinate loops.

Is this even a reason for concern or is it already handled by a canonical url tag inside prestashop.

Did you find a solution ?
I have the same issue but nobody respond to it.

Have a look here:

This redirects only from mysite.com/index.php to mysite.com/.

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]

But if you can get tomer's module, it will be very useful for redirect all your duplicate URLs to the default Friendly URL and prevent any Search Engine duplication penalty.
