I have this code setup in .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /([^.]+)\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [NC,L,R]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.html [NC,L]

however, when I try to access www.example.com/example, it only shows the files in that page, not actual content. I'm just trying to get it to be www.example.com/example instead of www.example.com/example.html

The problem still persists, I'm getting the listing directory not actual content – Moemin Nov 19 '18 at 09:27
Your code sample works here. Maybe there is a conflict with the global configuration. – Amessihel Nov 19 '18 at 09:36
@janmyszkier, not enabling the mod leads to a 500 error. – Amessihel Nov 19 '18 at 09:39
Not entirely sure what I could change to make it work, Namecheap says it has mod rewrite enabled by default – Moemin Nov 19 '18 at 09:40
Also, example.com/index works and shows content just fine, but example.com/blog for example is showing Index of /blog instead of actual content – Moemin Nov 19 '18 at 09:40
@Muchkler is there a file named blog.html? – Dusan Bajic Nov 19 '18 at 12:06
@Bajic Yes there is – Moemin Nov 19 '18 at 12:08
shouldn't `RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST}` be `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}` – Jan Myszkier Nov 19 '18 at 12:40
