I have a webpage: http://www.somename.com/webapp.php

I'd like users to be able to get to it be simply typing http://www.somename.com/webapp

I know this would work if the page was an html page ('webapp.html').

Any ideas on how I can make this work? Is there a configuration file I can edit to get the desired behavior?

I have two ideas, but they seem clunky to me:
1) make a webapp.html and have it redirect to webapp.php
2) make webapp.html and iframe webapp.php inside of it

Thanks!

If you are using Apache with mod_rewrite, you can add these lines to your .htaccess

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule !.*\.php$ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php [L]

This will map hostname.com/webstore to hostname.com/webstore.php

You probably want to check that it's not an existing directory, either.

Easy solution: Make a folder webapp/, move your script there and rename it index.php ;-)

I tried this and it worked - it actually made sense to go this route for other reasons too. Thanks!

Put this in your .htaccess file:

Options +MultiViews

This will turn on content negotiation and automatically look for a matching file when no extension is given.

Um... if you're using Apache, that is.
I tried this, but it didn't work. It's on my to-do list to contact godaddy and find out why. Thanks.
