EDIT: current .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews # Turn mod_rewrite on RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / ## hide .php extension snippet # To externally redirect /dir/foo.php to /dir/foo RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC] RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L] # To internally forward /dir/foo to /dir/foo.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.php [L]

My site is hosted in a subfolder of a domain connected to a large hosting account.

basesite /iioengine /forums /.htaccess //file works /.... //other MyBB content /demos.php /index.php //iioengine.com (homepage) /.htaccess //file doesn't work /... //other iioengine php pages

Is the issue that I'm using two different htaccess files?

Here is a link that needs to work: http://iioengine.com/demos

I noticed that this current htaccess file disrupts all of the forums URL's as well

This no longer works: http://iioengine.com/forums/Forum-Box2D

EDIT: Thanks for reopening, I have made some progress. Here is my current htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d </IfModule>

I still get 404 pages, but if I put this line in:

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

all non-'.php' requests get forwarded to the homepage... So mod_rewrite is definitely enabled, it's just not working right. Anyone know what the issue could be?

EDIT: This is not a duplicate - none of the other solutions work for me. My question is not do solutions exist, its why aren't they working for me. No one has been able to resolve this, I have been trying many solutions myself. Isn't the point of this forum to get solutions to specific issues?

Allow me to clarify...

I have MyBB running in a subfolder and its rewrites work fine. This link, for instance, works: http://iioengine.com/forums/Forum-Box2D

All the php pages that are not part of MyBB still have the .php extension in their URLs - I am trying to remove these but nothing is working. Example: http://iioengine.com/demos

... [original post]

There is obviously a lot of information out there about this, but I have tried almost a dozen different solutions and have not gotten past a 404 page.

Here is my site: http://iioengine.com/, all pages are php, and everything other than the homepage and all of the forums pages have a '.php' at the end of their URL that I would like to remove.

In addition to redirecting non-'.php' requests to the correct pages, I would also like to remove the '.php' part even when it is part of the request (because all of my content already specifies '.php' in its hyperlinks).

This is what I have so far, mostly taken from this post, but it doesn't work, I get a 404 page.

RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*).php$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1 [L,QSA]

what do I need in my htaccess file to remove the file extension from the URL in all cases? Thanks

    Maybe this answer helps. Check option II. Commented Apr 10, 2013 at 5:08
  • MVC, not that I know of. I tried option II - didn't work (still got 404 pages) and it messed up the formatting on all of my pages Commented Apr 10, 2013 at 5:17

Try this code for hiding .php (will work both ways):

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews # Turn mod_rewrite on RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / ## don't touch /forum URIs RewriteRule ^forums/ - [L,NC] ## hide .php extension snippet # To externally redirect /dir/foo.php to /dir/foo RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC] RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L] # To internally forward /dir/foo to /dir/foo.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.php [L]

I think there is an issue with how my htaccess file is being read or interpreted. This gives me a 404 page on each request
Pls post your latest .htaccess in your question. Also provide more details like what URI did you try and little bit info about your directory structure.
I think I know what's the problem and it can be fixed. Just need 1 more answer from you. What is DOCUMENT_ROOT for http://iioengine.com/ and where in DOCUMENT_ROOT you've placed above .htaccess file?
index.php and .htaccess are both in the iioengine folder, which is a direct subfolder of my hosting account's root
But I guess DOCUMENT_ROOT for http://iioengine.com/ is iioengine folder isn't it? You can put phpinfo(); in a php file to get that information.

try this.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,QSA] </IfModule>

if this not work then your sever do not have mod_rewrite activated or support url rewriting.

is mod_rewrite on? check phpinfo()
I assume it is because the myBB htaccess rewrites work fine for all of the Forums pages.. ill use phpinfo to make sure
Here's the info page: iioengine.com/phpinfo.php. I can't see anything that specifies mod_rewrite
Still didn't work. I'll leave it up for about 20min. I'll look into my server capabilities.

Here is the simplest syntax I have found, which would result as below:

RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/?PrivacyPolicy$ legal.php?mode=privacy [NC,L] RewriteRule ^Report/([0-9]+)$ report.php?id=$1 [NC,L]

Results:

  1. PrivacyPolicy to legal.php?mode=privacy
  2. Report/55 to report.php?id=55

This should work 

Options -Indexes +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews RewriteEngine on DirectoryIndex index.php # REDIRECT Force requests for named index files to drop the index file filename, and force non-www to avoid redirect loop RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]*/)*index\.(html?|php[45]?)(\?[^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^(([^/]*/)*)index\.(html?|php[45]?)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+)/([^\.]+)\.php\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([^.]+)\.php$ http://example.com/$1/$2 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^\.]+)\.php\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([^.]+)\.php$ http://example.com/$1/$2/$3 [R=301,L] # REDIRECT www to non-wwww RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule .? http://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] # REWRITE url to filepath RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([^/.]+)$ /$1/$2.php [L] RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([^/.]+)$ /$1/$2/$3.php [L]

On apache 2.4 and later, You can use the following Rule with END flag to remove .php extension from urls.

RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ /$1 [NC,L,R=301] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ /$1.php [END]
