    Hi everyone.
    I have a website that's on WAMP.
    When I try to access a page it needs the page plus the .HTML at the end or it won't work.
    I did have this issue before on another site, but I fixed that by removing the .htaccess file, which wasn't needed.
    In this case there isn't one.
    Any idea folks?

    By Apache default, ALL pages will need the extension such as .html.
    So, to access contact.html the address must be abc.com/contact.html.

    A .htaccess file must be used so the extension is not needed using Apache mod_rewrite rules.
    examples:

    Got a private message and responded with the below but changed the actual Website URLs because the site is not intended for public viewing from this forum.

    See the last 20 or so lines of the server error log, post here.
    Also, verify that the apache rewrite module is enabled.
    On WAMP you should have a tray icon for wampmanager.
    Click > Apache > Apache modules > enable mod_rewrite.

    Verify mod_rewrite is ON by checking the contents of httpd.conf for this:
    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
    there should not be a # in front of the line.

    Restart all the wamp services & you should be good to go. If still no joy try this in the .htaccess file: (and restart all wamp services)
    Code:
    Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

## hide .html extension
# To externally redirect /dir/foo.html to /dir/foo
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC]

## To internally redirect /dir/foo to /dir/foo.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.html [L]

    I checked there was no #
    I then pasted your code. Now I don't need the .html
    Superb Tony. Probably simple to you, but it leaves me dumb founded.
    Cheers again
