Pages with duplicate meta descriptions question - both index.php and / are indexed

[mallymally is verified member.]

For example both of the following are showing in google

example.com

and

example.com/index.php

Any idea how to sort this issue? thanks

301

Change the internal links if you can if any are pointing to the /index.html etc

Cheers Murray, ref my index.php file, do I need to add a 301 at the top, or via htaccess? cheers Mally

Alternative is to canonical index to /

sorted with

RewriteRule (.*)index.php /$1 [L,R=301,QSA]

thanks all
