Clean URL help!

[Whittie]

Hi all,

In short, i'm looking to redirect examplepage.html to examplepage .I've got rid of the .html, sitewide this morning. However I want to redirect Google & people who have bookmarked the old url structure.

Currently if you have the extension on or not, it will show in your browser.

I'm wanting /examplepage.html to 301 redirect to /examplepage

I've gone the normal way I'd do it by adding in .htaccess:

Redirect 301 /examplepage.html http://www.example.com/examplepage

I'm assuming it isn't redirecting as the example.html page is no longer... what is the way around this?

Thanks for any help!

In firefox the error of the page is:

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Hi,

I've found a solution, however thought i'd share.

Within the .htaccess file, i've added

# 301 permanent redirect all .html to non .html

RewriteCond%{THE_REQUEST} \.html RewriteRule^(.*)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks
