How to do a simple Mod_Rewrite

I'm simply looking to clean a urls like: 

/// FROM :
http://mydomain.com/about.php
http://mydomain.com/contact.php

/// TO:
http://mydomain.com/about
http://mydomain.com/contact

My .htaccess file:

 Options +FollowSymlinks
 RewriteEngine on


 RewriteRule ^about about.php [NC]

Error: 

Not Found

The requested URL /about was not found on this server.

What is the problem here?

Solution

  • It seems i had to disable multiviews which was enabled by default.

    My .htaccess: 

    Options +FollowSymLinks -Multiviews
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^(about|contact)$ $1.php [NC,L]
