Google indexing - page with rediect - affected page - index.html

Support

Hi, it’s been one issue after another trying to get google to index my site properly… Hopefully I’m at the last hurdle.

I’m using friendly urls and have installed the canonical extra but google is not happy with www.mydomain.com/index.html saying it’s being redirected but the entry in .htaccess is for index.php and I cannot find any setting in system settings to potentially resolve this.

Can someone please assist?

Many thanks : -)

I think I may have fixed it by deleting the resource alias setting which is (index) by default in the manager homepage resource which then changes it to (home) - hopefully this fixes the issue?

Can’t you just remove the index.html file? I can’t think of any reason why you would need one, unless your server is misconfigured.

Hi bobray, thankyou for your reply…

There is no index.html file the url is being generated by modx.
I’m surprised that this is not a common issue that all modx admins have to deal with (google indexing) so I’m very confused.

I am a Revo noob btw…

I do have “Use Friendly Alias Path” enabled as I was using this for folder paths before I switched to using containers.

Btw I’m going to install and use your UpgradeModx extra soon - top bloke : - )

I’m not sure if I can post my website URL here but here goes:

Many Thanks
