301 Redirect is Not Working with Index File-CodePudding

I'm trying to 301 Redirect the Index.php to another URL

Here's my htaccess codes

Options  FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

Redirect 301 /index.php /en1

RewriteRule en1 index.php [NC]

My domain for example is

www.mysite.com

I want this to work as

www.mysite.com/en1

In the URL bar its showing the new URL but browser says

The page isn’t redirecting properly

How to fix this 301 Redirect?

CodePudding user response：

With your shown samples please try following .htaccess rules file. Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.

Options  FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine ON

##Implement http ---> https rules here.
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

##External redirect rules here.
RewriteRule ^/?$ /en5 [R=301,L]

##Internal rewrite to index.php rules here.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^en5/?$ index.php [L]

OR If you want to write a Generic rule for rewriting each non-existing file to index.php then try following:

Options  FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine ON

##Implement http ---> https rules here.
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

##External redirect rules here.
RewriteRule ^/?$ /en5 [R=301,L]

##Internal rewrite to index.php rules here.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

NOTE: Use either of rules set one at a time only.
