remove .php from website url

Hi,

It sounds like one of two problems.

You either don’t have a .htaccess file in your WordPress root directory, going to Settings > Permalinks and hitting the save button twice should try to generate this for you or tell you what it should look like if it can’t.

The other problem is that you don’t have mod_rewrite enabled. I see you mention that you do have it enabled, but did you restart Apache after enabling it (it doesn’t work until you restart it, just reloading won’t be enough).

Thanks for reply Marius!

The solution was different.

My server-technical guy did the following and the problem solved.

in files wp-includes/vars.php
Commented $is_apache = strstr($_SERVER[‘SERVER_SOFTWARE’], ‘Apache’) ? 1 : 0;
and added $is_apache = 1;

That solved my problem. Dont know how but!!

Hi,

That’s bad, that change will be overwritten by the next WordPress update (One should never edit the WordPress core files).

It sounds like your server might be reporting the wrong httpd (or you aren’t on Apache), do you have access to a phpinfo() output from your setup, the SERVER_SOFTWARE string would be interesting to know the value of in this case (even if it is to identify an Apache version that has a different string so we can fix it if it’s on our end).
