Iv’e tried everything, I enabled rewrite module, messed around with the apache config and still my server will not add the .php extension automatically. It just keeps showing a 404 error.
BTW, I have this setup on a virtual host.
Here’s my Apache config:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port th$
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/ce
ServerName computingessentials.tk
ServerAlias www.computingessentials.tk
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/ce/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>
And here is my htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z-]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z-]+)/$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^videos/([0-9a-zA-Z-]+)$ videos.php?var=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^article/([0-9a-zA-Z-]+)$ article.php?var=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^video/([0-9a-zA-Z-]+)$ video.php?var=$1 [NC,L]
For example, there is a page called series.php, which should get replaced to /series but when I go to /series, it says file not found.
And you will not be able to access the server since at the moment I have setup my host files to redirect me to the IP.

The effect of MultiViews is as follows: if the server receives a request for /some/dir/foo, if /some/dir has MultiViews enabled, and /some/dir/foo does not exist, then the server reads the directory looking for files named foo., and effectively fakes up a type map which names all those files, assigning them the same media types and content-encodings it would have if the client had asked for one of them by name. It then chooses the best match to the client’s requirements.*
Removing JUST MultiViews from the Options made it work for me when I had a url like…
domain.com/index/action/ … I assume it has to do with index/ being a keyword.
Have you restarted Apache after adding
AllowOverride All
? Are there any errors in its error log?Also, your htaccess can also be written as follows:
Fewer rules usually means better performance :)
