Hello,
I am using LEMP droplet. For SEO purposes, I made redirection from site.com/index.php to site.com like this:
server {
...
if ($request_uri ~* "^(.*/)index\.php$") {
return 301 $1;
}
...
}
It works just fine, but I need it to work on root folder of the site only. It currently redirects all folders, in example /folder/index.php will be redirected to /folder/
This prevents some of my scripts to work normally (Joomla backend in example). How can I change the above code and make this redirection for root folder only.
Thanks, Milos

I have no idea what you seek to achieve with this, but use try_files. That way, unless you are actively using http://foo.bar/index.php in your code, all requests will be evaluated at /.
Something like this:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
If you are doing this because of duplicate content you can rest assure that Google don’t care all that much. Just be consistent in the way you link to your content.
