RussellReal Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 well, your rewrite should work with no problems, and you're not getting a 500 error (which is a way to tell if your htaccess is messed up), so have you restarted your server after you changed your apache configuration files?

RussellReal Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'm not sure how much I could help you, but I can point you in the right direction, there is a forum (right here on phpfreaks.com) its called Apache Installation or whatever, they're all more experienced with modding a server than I am, I simply use them Sorry I wasn't much help, wish you the best!

thebadbad Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 You realize that your pattern says .htm, right? Not .html as you said you tried. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/162917-solved-php-htacess-rewrites/#findComment-859678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 You might also want to use the QSA flag to "transfer" the query string as well. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/162917-solved-php-htacess-rewrites/#findComment-859679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 So something like this: RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html?$ $1.php [NC,QSA] That'll rewrite both .htm and .html to .php.
