If all CMS’s (Drupal, MediaWiki) are just a collection of PHP or ASP in the background, then how do they display pages at http://www.example.com/directory/ or http://www.example.com/File_name without extensions or anything?
Is this some .HTACCESS configuration? Python? Perl? What could do this?
How could I do this for my server/websites? (Without using a CMS?)
