Balinor,
I have changed my htaccess file from DirectoryIndex index.html index.php to DirectoryIndex home.php but again my site redirects to www.mydomain.com/home.php

I need my site redirects to mydomain.com only.

Can you guide me? Thank you.

Re: home.php to index.php

Here's a tutorial to move your site to root and maintain search engine rankings: Move X-Cart To Root.

If you don't move your site to root, then at least set a home.php directory index in your subfolder .htaccess file do a 301 redirect from root to your subfolder by putting an index.php file in root with the following content (replace /shop/ with your folder):

Code:

<?php

header('Location: /shop/',TRUE,301);

?>

Our CDSEO program includes a home.php directory index and to consolidate pages it also does a 301 redirect to / when http://www.example.com/home.php is accessed directly.

If you are running Zeus then you can set your directory index in your control panel.

You should also specify if your domain uses www. or not, here's another tutorial: http://www.x-cart-seo.com/x-cart-seo-blog/www-seo-pick-a-domain-preference/
