Need Help With My Web.config File (Canonical Issue)

Davidnrog · Feb 19, 2015

I'm working on my new website which is facing some canonical error.
I've moved my website to http://www.example.com from (without)example.com by using the code below

(Note :fixed the www and no-www error)

I want my website redirect's, when i type "www.example.com/index.php" to "www.example.com"

"(i.e. I don?t want to have the ?index.php? portion visible in the address)"

Code:

<configuration> 
  <system.webServer> 
    <rewrite> 
      <rules> 
        <rule name="Redirect to WWW" stopProcessing="true"> 
          <match url=".*" /> 
          <conditions> 
            <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^example.com$" /> 
          </conditions> 
          <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.example.com/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" /> 
        </rule> 
      </rules> 
    </rewrite> 
  </system.webServer> 
</configuration>

Thank's

Please Help..

Strange, why are you trying to remove index.php with a web.config file? Is your site in ASP.NET or is it in PHP?

Davidnrog · Feb 20, 2015

The website is in Php, I've implement the above code in my web.config When i visit to my site "http://www.example.com" or "http://www.example.com/index.php" With and Without index.php; it is presented with the exact same page, and having the same content and it resolve's at two different website url. I know it's potentially harmful for search engine ranking...

If your website is in PHP, then why is there a web.config file? Web.config contains
settings for ASP.NET web apps. If your site's in PHP use a .htaccess file to remove
the index.php from the URL.

EDIT: I pasted the .htaccess that I use:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

As per my knowledge .haaccess is for those website which are on Apache server. My website is on the flexible (IIS) 8 Windows Server.

That's right. So it's a PHP site on an IIS server, that's a bit unusual but whatever.

Here you go:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <defaultDocument enabled="true">
            <files>
                <add value="index.php" />
            </files>
        </defaultDocument>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="cleanurls" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url=".*" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:0}" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
