Google indexing my old site. How to change?

[jdmsai]

Hi guys, I used to run my website on www.mobile604.com/index.html. Now that my osc site is up and running, i want it to go to www.mobile604.com/index.php.

 

However, when I google 'Mobile604', it still links people to www.mobile604.com/index.html instead of index.php. How do I fix this or tell google to get rid of all my old links?

 

TIA

Something simple in .htaccess like the following will probably do it ..

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule index\.html index.php [NC,R]
