remove html htm

[whitetigeritaly]

My website can be reached without html/htm/php extension.
It was published and signaled in this format.

For some reason I do not know, I see reported errors 404 related to pages with the correct name, but which have the extension.
So I wanted to create rules in .htaccess to remove extensions, but I keep getting errors.
Where am I wrong?

Code: Select all

...
# Remove .php-extension from url
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
  RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.php

# Remove .htm-extension from url
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.htm -f
  RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.htm

# Remove .html-extension from url
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
  RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.html
  ...
  

Thanks in advance

I'm guessing that your site pages look something like http://<site-URL>/<menu-item>/xxxxxx.htm

Is that right?

Are you using Apache, LiteSpeed, Nginx, or whatsoever?

.php

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

.html

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ $1.html [L]

and you can use as well:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

Then completely:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ $1.html [L]

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ $1.htm [L]

If you're using only [L], it will be not accessible via old http://www.URLs.com/pages.html anymore. I'm not sure, I think you should restart Apache, or you can restart it all with the same effect, while there can be some caching system that prevents you to see any change.
