Hi there :-)
I am trying to enable the URL rewrite so that when a person goes to http://sitename.org/home.php they will not see the extension or .php .
I cannot get it to work unfortunately, this is what i have done:
I think I must be missing something small here:
#my htaccess:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]
#set permissions to 664
#a2enmod is enabled
#removed extension from links in code (changed link in nav menu form /home.php to /home)
#restarted apache
when i got to …/home - i get a 404.

Make sure that you have AllowOverride set to All in your apache virtual host file.
<Directory /var/www/html>
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
And then restart apache.
