remove my index.php file using .htaccess -

i trying remove trailing index.php on main site using .htaccess file , following code....

rewritecond %{the_request} ^[a-z]{3,9}\ /(([^/]+/)*)index\.(html?|php[45]?|[aj]spx?)\ https/ rewriterule index\.(html?|php[45]?|[aj]spx?)$ https://www.gekkodev.com/%1 [r=301,l] 

but of course still not working! think problem ssl certificate code has worked fine on lots of other sites

any ideas accepted! many thanks.

your rewritecond taking entirely wrong approach. https request http request wrapped in ssl/tls security - not contain string https in request line, checking for.

if want rule apply https requests, use %{https} variable, listed in documenation:

rewritecond %{https} on 

(i've seen lot of rewrite rules testing %{the_request} recently, , i'm not sure why, should used last resort when nothing else can work.)
