Figured it out though I don't know how. Nothing worked until I got rid of Wordpress's htaccess file in my primary root (iioengine is hosted in a subfolder of another site that uses WP). But then once I got everything working, I reactivated that htaccess file and everything still worked okay... Here is my final htaccess code for iioengine.com though: Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews # Turn mod_rewrite on RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / ## don't touch /forums 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 have this website coded in php: http://iioengine.com/ MyBB is installed in a subfolder: http://iioengine.com/forums/, it uses an htaccess file to remove the php extension from its page URLs. As an example, this link works: http://iioengine.com/forums/Forum-Box2D I would like to remove the URL extensions from all the non-MyBB parts of my website - to make this page: http://iioengine.com/demos.php, accessible from this link: http://iioengine.com/demos I thought this would be straightforward, but every .htaccess file I have implemented just results in 404 pages for all queries. Here is what I have now: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d </IfModule> It gives me 404 pages for non-.php queries, but I found that if I add this line: 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? If I can get this working, I also need some rules to cut off the extension even if it is in the query (since all of my hyperlinks use extensions). what do I need in my htaccess file to remove the file extension from the URL in all cases? Thanks
