Urls indexed in Google with index.php, Laravel configured to not use it in paths

Question

I deployed recently an little website made with latest Laravel 4. All works well, url rewriting included.

But I noticed that Google indexed a few urls with the index.php in the path. As you know, this can provoke a duplicate content problem.

I triple checked, and there's absolutely no way to access an url with index.php when you browse the website. So I wonder how to prevent the framework to load the urls with index.php, or at least a trick to redirect automatically to the correct url without the index.php.

In the original htaccess, I only added this to force the www in url:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/ [L,R=301] 

I don't think it's the cause of this problem, but I mention it, just in case.

Thanks.

Answer 1

This is what worked for me, helping me removine Laravel's index.php from the url:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]

Google saves 404 pages, use Google Webmastertools to remove from their cache.

The Rule is wrong I think.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /index.php?$1
