How to restrict user to access website by index.php

Question

My client don't want home page accessible if someone type www.domain.com/index.php.

He only want home page accessible by domain name only(without index.php). He thought it is affecting the site SEO

Is it possible? Please suggest guys.

Thanks in advance

Right after

    RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

Put this in your .htaccess file

    RewriteRule ^index\.php/(.+)$ /$1 [R,L]
    RewriteRule ^index\.php/?$ / [R,L]

[UPDATE]Or this:

    RedirectMatch 301 index.php/(.*) /$1

Must be before:

</IfModule>

Ofcourse... You have to edit ".htaccess" (or a file like that) for it.

You have to ask your system administrator or Google: ".htaccess redirect".

Thanks for the reply, so after doing ".htaccess redirect" site will be not accessible from typing /index.php (www.domain.com/index.php)

Go to system -> configuration and enable seo friendly urls .

index.php will be removed.
