How to remove file extensions from URLs
Hi,
I tried to get the .htaccess file to redirect http://www.example/page.html to http://www.example/page with the following code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.html$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1 [R=301,L]
now the redirect does remove the ".html" BUT it yields to an url like: http://www.example/home/myaccount/public_html/page
How can I set this redirect so it does not add the "/home/myaccount/public_html/" bit?
Thank you

Hello genegun, Thank you for your question about removing the file extension from your site's URLs. You can use the following code in your .htaccess file to use URLs like http://www.example/page or http://www.example/page/ instead of http://www.example/page.html: Options +MultiViews Please make sure you remove the previous code from the .htaccess file. If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Regards, Christi N. |
