Accessing web page without typing .html

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 10.2006

I want to be able to make the pages on my site accessible without having to enter .html or .htm etc at the end of the address. How?

e.g.1 [url]www.mysite.co.nz/shops[/url]
Currently, to access this page, one has to type [url]www.mysite.co.nz/shops.html[/url]

e.g.2 [url]www.mysite.co.nz/redirect[/url]
Currently, have to type [url]www.mysite.co.nz/redirect.html[/url]

Let me know if more info is required for a solution…I am a beginner…

Thanks.

@felgallOct 10.2006 — Most sites have the default web page where one is not specified set to index.html so the following two addresses will access the same page in the shops folder:

www.mysite.co.nz/shops/index.html

www.mysite.co.nz/shops

That's the easiest way to do it. There are other ways that involve placing commands in the .htaccess file to redirect file names.

Success!
