index.php? vs index.php

Saturday 13 December 2008 5:51:08 am

Hi,

I installed and set up a <b>eZ Publish 4.0.1</b>base website on <b>my PC</b> (xampp, apache2, php5, mysql5 ). The URLs are as following:

http://localhost/ezp/index.php/chi
http://localhost/ezp/index.php/chi/node_69

When I port the website to <b>Godaddy</b> virtual host, the URLs become as following:

http://mydomain.com/index.php?/chi
http://mydomain.com/index.php?/chi/node_69

But anyway, it works. Why? Is it harmful to SEO? I didn't found the answer in the forum. Could somebody please tell me?

Thanks!
With best regards!

Is it a pleasure after all to practice in due time what one has learnt?

At least Google will index URLs with question mark. Though there might be some issues with complex URLs with parameters. But in this case there shouldn't be any problems with indexing. Although clean URLs are of course nicer.
