301 redirect www.mywebsite.com to www.mywebsite.com/defaultcontroller/

[eluser]setgreen[/eluser]
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?
