Rewrite URL with .htaccess to hide PHP extension

Question

I've a question, I'm developing a webservice for a specific app. Last week I transferred my back-up from server1 to server2, since that moment my .htaccess won't work anymore.

The url for my webservice is: http://apps.holtesdesign.nl/inholland/apiv0/

This url works fine, to load the bugreport module: http://apps.holtesdesign.nl/inholland/apiv0/bugreport.php

But the url was supposed to be: http://apps.holtesdesign.nl/inholland/apiv0/bugreport

When you'll open the last url, you'll see that it will result in an internal server error. Do you know how it's possible?

My .htaccess looks like:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

The server is running on CentOS, and I've already checked if mod_rewrite is functioning...

I hope you can help me guys!

Cheers,

Jelmer

This will fix it:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1\.php

If it doesn't work correct the settings of your Wamp Server:

Left click WAMP icon
Apache
Apache Modules
Left click rewrite_module.

unfortunately, it won't. I've replaced the .htacces file with your code

Where is the .htaccess file?

The .htaccess file was in the same directory, now I've deleted it, and put it in the parent directory, which worked with your code. It was a very strange problem!

This will hide the trailing slash and hide .php in root & sub directories.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.php [NC,L]

Working Concept for me:

# Options is required by Many HostSevice
Options +MultiViews

RewriteEngine on

# For .php & .html URL's:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

Use this code in Root folder of your website in .htaccess File : Example

offline - wamp\www\YourWebDir

online - public_html/

Important Note : If it doesn't work correct the settings of your Wamp Server: 1) Left click WAMP icon 2) Apache 3) Apache Modules 4) Left click rewrite_module
