: 301 redirect to www from non-www and index.html Currently the home page of my website is accessible via these URL's: www.example.com, example.com, www.example.com/index.html, and example.com/index.html

Currently the home page of my website is accessible via these URL's:
example.com, example.com, example.com/index.html, and example.com/index.html

So I'm trying to set up redirects so that example.com goes to example.com AND that example.com/index.html, example.com/index.html goes to example.com to avoid duplicate content issues. Tried this in the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Redirect 301 /index.html www.example.com/

But got error message that there were too many redirects. What do I need to include this .htaccess file to make this 301 redirect? I also have sub-domains like fr.example.com, de.example.com So do I also need to write separate 301 redirect rules/codes in their .htaccess file?
