Greetings,
I have just moved a website from IIS to Apache and am having a little trouble redirecting the index file without causing an infinite loop.
Both of these individually will cause a loop-
Redirect 301 /index.htm /index.php
Redirect 301 /index.htm http://www.foo.com/
Below is a copy of my current .htaccess. Can someone help me? I have a bunch of links pointed to http://www.foo.com/index.htm that I would like to 301 redirect to http://www.foo.com/

Answer: Use the PHP header() Function You can simply use the PHP header() function to redirect a user to a different page. The PHP code in the following example will redirect the user from the page in which it is placed to the URL http://www.example.com/another-page.php . You can also specify relative URLs.
How to Redirect to Another Page in HTML. To redirect one HTML page to another page, you need to add a <meta> tag inside the <head> section of the old HTML page. The <head> section of an HTML document contains metadata that is useful for the browser, but invisible to users viewing the page.
PHP 301 Redirect To set a permanent PHP redirect, you can use the status code 301. Because this code indicates an indefinite redirection, the browser automatically redirects the user using the old URL to the new page address.
Why are you doing this? Why not add index.php to your vhost/config as a valid index extension
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
And then delete the HTML file>
or
DirectoryIndex index.php
