Redirect a file to a directory gives a loop?

[nunovieira]

Hello,

I pretend to redirect:

http://asite.com/directory
or
http://www.asite.com/directory

to

http://asite.com/directory/index.php
or
http://www.asite.com/directory/index.php

so that visitors only have to type
http://asite.com/directory/
or
http://www.asite.com/directory/

and be redirected to

http://asite.com/directory/index.php
or
http://www.asite.com/directory/index.php

I'm using .htaccess inside /directory/ and i have tried this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^asite.com/directory$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.asite.comt/directory$
RewriteRule ^compras/indice.php$ "http\:\/\/www\.a site\.com\/directory\" [R=301,L]
(gives a loop)
and this:
redirect /directory /directory/index.php
(gives a loop)

Your precious help would be much appreciated I'ts urgent..
Tank you very much for your atention.

There have been several threads recently about a redirect loop problem, here's one of them. Redirect Loop

That said, I'm not sure why you're wanting to create a redirect to something that your server should already be able to handle.

This:

http://asite.com/directory
or
http://www.asite.com/directory

Should already open to this:

http://asite.com/directory/index.php
or
http://www.asite.com/directory/index.php

Or this:

http://asite.com/directory/index.html
or
http://www.asite.com/directory/index.html

...normally, without a redirect.

I agree with Infopro on that. However, if you have multiple index files in that directory then you can just put the following entry in the htaccess file in that directory :

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Uhm, to the original poster --- very lousy example!

For everything you posted, you don't need any redirects whatsoever !!!!

You don't need to setup anything !!!

Those already are the addresses of everything you typed by default!

When you don't specify a filename on a URL, the index files are automatically
displayed when included by default "index.php" which is precisely what you
used in every single one of your examples.

Thus, all of the following are the same:

http://domain.com/folder
http://www.domain.com/folder
http://domain.com/folder/
http://www.domain.com/folder/
http://domain.com/folder/index.php
http://www.domain.com/folder/index.php
