301 redirect www.mywebsite.com to www.mywebsite.com/defaultcontroller/ - El Forum - 04-19-2010

Hi all,
I've been using Code Igniter for one of my website for some time now but something has been bothering me lately.
I would like to 301 redirect http://www.mywebsite/mydefaultcontroller to http://www.mywebsite.com/
Is there a way to do that using mod_rewite in the .htaccess file without messing things up (maybe I should look into the DNS stuff to solve this problem?)?
My .htaccess file contains the following for now :
Code:
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]The above rewriting rule is the usual way to get rid of the 'index.php' part.
Could someone enlighten me about that?

Why you need to use 301?

Well the company I work for has just hired a guy who's a referencement specialist...
They want me to do that and I can't really discuss it with them.

I see but why redirect by 301?
Because when you time your site it automatically load your default controller. See on my site:
When you type
http://parser.comper.sk/
It's the same as:
http://parser.comper.sk/home
Everything what you need is delete index.php from your config.php ($config['index_page'] = ""
.So my question is: Why 301?

They're telling me that the automatic redirection that Code Igniter do, using the default controller, from http://www.mywebsite.com/ to http://www.mywebsite.com/defaultcontroller/ isn't a 301 redirection but a 302.
And for some reason, they want Google to know that this redirection is a permanent one, so they need a 301.
