Topic: Hide .php Extentions in .htaccess
I want to add several independent .php pages to the root folder of my MONSTRA CMS Installation with the file extension to be removed on the file e.g.
www.domain.com/page.php = www.domain.com/page
and
www.domain.com/subfolder/page.php = www.domain.com/subfolder/page
So if someone types in: www.domain.com/page.php they are redirected to: www.domain.com/page
I have included in the root .htaccess some apache rewrite rules, but I think these rules conflict with the original rules in the Monstra .htaccess file because i get the following results:
www.domain.com/page works
www.domain.com/page.php DOES NOT REDIRECT TO www.domain.com/page
if you add a trailing slash: www.domain.com/page/ i get a 500 internal server error response.
I would also like the trailing slash (www.domain.com/page/) to be redirected to (www.domain.com/page)
I am struggling to get my head around to understanding apache .htaccess, as I am newby to anything web development related and just starting to get my hands dirty...
If someone could help me by providing the correct .htaccess adapted from on MONSTRA .htaccess I would be really grateful.
Below is the code I used in my .htaccess file:
# # Monstra CMS :: php & apache settings # # Set default charset utf-8 AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 # Don't show directory listings for URLs which map to a directory. Options -Indexes # PHP 5, Apache 1 and 2.php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off php_flag magic_quotes_sybase off php_flag register_globals off Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews # Turn mod_rewrite on RewriteEngine On ## hide .php or .html extension # To externally redirect foo.php ot foo.html to foo RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.(php|html) [NC] RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.html [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L] # Setting rewrite rules.RewriteEngine on # Update code bellow for SEO improvements # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.org [NC] # RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.org/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteBase /mydomain.com/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L] # Update code bellow for SEO improvements # Redirect 301 /home http://example.org/
