Using .htaccess to URL rewrite on windows

Question

I have have turned mod_rewrite on in a windows machine and created .htaccess in the root directory of my website, now after i wrote FAIL in it it gave me an internal server error then i replaced the code with this

Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /$1.php [L,QSA]

I am trying to remove .php and make friendly URLs, when i am tring to load index without using .php it is giving me a 404 Not found error i have restarted the wamp server several times and the same problem. Can somebody help me here.

Thanks in advance

Have a look at your error logs. It should show you what the actual filename is that cannot be found. I'm thinking you're probably rewriting a file /test.php to /test.php.php now. — Honoki

This is what i found it's looking inside the www directly script 'C:/wamp/www/destinations.php' not found or unable to stat — Mohamed Hassan

For removing .php it would suffice to use Options +MultiViews. — mario

I have changed the .htaccess to this

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

and it worked just in case somebody faces the same problem

Remove the line RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f. It is unnecessary.

I did as you said but the problem is it's looking inside c:\wamp\www Not c:\wamp\www\my_site_folder

The RewriteBase tells the server to go looking for /$1.php on the root of the domain.
