How to configure URL extensions at Nginx

Hi @mxwlljr,

I think what you are looking for is the following

try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.html @extensionless =404;

Another possibility is @extensionless. @extensionless is treated like a normal file, and that’s because you’ve added an extra =404 after @extensionless within try_files – the @extensionless part would only work as the last parameter as an internal redirect to another context.

If you want not only to support handing requests without .html, but to also strip .php from any requests, you might want to do the following:

location / {
    if (-e $request_filename.html){
        rewrite ^/(.*)$ /$1.html;
    }
}
location ~ \.html$ {
    if ($request_uri ~ ^/([^?]*)\.html(\?.*)?$) {
        return 302 /$1$2;
    }
    fastcgi_...
}
