copied!<p>This rule will apply to every URL pointing to a PHP file, stripping off the latter and issuing a redirect to the remainder.</p> <pre><code>RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*\/[^/]+\.php\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^(.*)/[^/]+\.php$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT</strong><br> @Ashley Briscoe: I think you are messing things up here a bit. Say the initial URL your client is requesting is <code>http://www.example.com/products/products.php</code>. This will be rewritten by the above rule to <code>http://www.example.com/products/</code>. </p> <p>Since now the rewritten URL is pointing to a directory (the trailing slash indicates that) rather than a file resource, Apache is trying to serve the <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html" rel="nofollow">directory index file</a> (e.g. index.html or index.php) in case <strong>mod_dir</strong> is being used (we can safely assume it is).</p> <p>The <code>403 Forbidden</code> response you get now indicates that the user your web server is running as DOES NOT have sufficient priviledges to read the directory index file and/or open its containing folder. </p> <p>To resolve this, you need to make sure that there actually exists a directory index file (thus renaming <code>products.php</code> to <code>index.php</code> within the products directory) and that the web server has the permission to read that file. </p> <p><strong>EDIT 2</strong><br> Regarding your last comment: If renaming isn't an option then you would have to let Apache know what file it should serve instead. Thus add another rule, like so:</p> <pre><code>RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*\/[^/]+\.php\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^(.*)/[^/]+\.php$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^products/?$ /products/products.php [L] </code></pre>
