Hi I’m trying to code a mod rewrite that redirects /example to /example.php . The code looks like it should be working but it’s not :

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/$ /$1.php

error log file :

    First, here’s my advice:

    Please try to use the RewriteLog directive: it helps you to track down such problems:

    # Trace:
# (!) file gets big quickly, remove in prod environments:
RewriteLog "/web/logs/mywebsite.rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteEngine On

    Then the solution:

    Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ /$1.php [QSA,L]

    Tell me if it works.
