htaccess mod_rewrite

[john0611]

Hi,

Can anyone help; I have urls with .php extensions.

http://domain.com/our_profile.php

Is there a way to remove the .php file extensions using .htaccess?

http://domain.com/our_profile/

Many thanks for any help.

Hi, thanks for quick reply,

I am getting a 500 Internal Server Error, I am relatively new to .htaccess I am not quiet sure whats going on. I know how to initiated the htaccess file but not sure why the 500 error?

Thanks again for your reply.

You're getting the 500 error because this option isn't enabled in http.conf. If you're doing this locally, find http.conf in the parent directory of your www folder, if your doing this online, and the cpanel isn't giving you an option to modify it, contact your host.

But, if it does, find this line:


#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so


And remove the #.

Good luck

Make sure you put:

domain.com/myfilehere

And not:

domain.com/myfilehere/

The last / will give you the error.

You may want to fix that for him - its not common that people don't put the '/'.

Cracked it!

Thanks for all the help guys!

Glad to help!

Having said that, does anyone have any idea why the trailing / brings up an internal error, and have any way of fixing it?

Cheers.
