Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ index.php?language=ge

There you go

If you want it to match index.html as well, use:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(index\.(php|html))?$ index.php?language=ge

thank you..that is working indeed...but i want only the index.php file to redirect to that language thing since i have another rule to

RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-(.*).html$ index.php?cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

Hi,

This is very common issue now day !!

you have to use 301 permanent redirection for this. if you are using apache server than you have write code in .htaccess file and if you are using IIS then in IIS Server admin setting will give you the preferred URL setting option so you can resolve issue properly.
