I'm trying to fix my site http://www.layoutpimps.net It is so weird
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/365476-resolved-htaccess-help-please-my-site.html

for example.

http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends does work
http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends/index.php reroutes back to the homepage
http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends/ reroutes back to the homepage

Currently, I have this in my htaccess
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

so thats why http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends/ reroutes back to the homepage.

This site is a complete mess in Google's eyes. Why is it if you add a / or a /index.php are the URLs considered 404 errors?

All three of those links need to go to the same place and be considered the same URL.

Is there anything I can add to my htaccess to fix this problem? It does it to all my URLs and it's been like this for a year! I just now noticed it.

is that the complete content of the htaccess file?
Do you do any rerouting in the php script itself?

ok just received your pm

http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends/index.php is rerouting back to the home page as you are not catching it anywhere. I presume this file is not actually a real file. This being the case the 404 line is dealing with this. If you wish to change this behaviour you need to create a line to catch this URL

Regarding http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends working and http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends/ not working this is because you are only catching in the htaccess without the slash in the following line

RewriteRule ^friends$ index.php?app=friends [L]

if you wish to catch both change it to the following:-

RewriteRule ^friends(/)?$ index.php?app=friends [L]
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=365476

this makes the slash optional (hence the ?).
