I have inherited a website PHP website, running on IIS 7.5.
If I go to: https://www.example.com/page there are no errors, it displays page.php content as expected.
If I go to: https://www.example.com/page/ I receive a 404 not found error. I'd like this to redirect /page and display page.php content.
I believe it's because the server is looking for a file page/.php (or page.php/ ??), but I need some help with what code to place in web.config to fix this.
If you use iis then add this in web.config To always remove trailing slash from the URL:
<rule name="Remove trailing slash" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)/$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="{R:1}" />
</rule>
if you have an Apache Web Server then In .htaccess add this :
RewriteEngine on
#unless directory, remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
#resolve .php file for extensionless php urls
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]
#redirect external .php requests to extensionless url
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /([^/]+/)*[^.#?\ ]+\.php([#?][^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*[^.]+)\.php /$1 [R=301,L]
