I think you should to one more rewrite before the other rules and that is RewriteRule /$ /index\.html or RewriteRule ^/$ /index\.html as you need. HTH Aman Raheja http://www.techquotes.com
I see what this does - rewrite / to /index.html, but I'm already refering to %{REQUEST_FILENAME}, which is the resolved file name and so will already be /index.html for /, won't it?
I tried it out, and for my / page, nothing changed, however, for directories such as /foo/ and /foo/bar/ I'm now getting served the page for / - although it does get served with application/xhtml\+xml!
I really appreciate the help. Any other ideas? This has been driving me crazy for days.

Thanks a lot.
