Sorry if this question has been answered already but I just got tired of looking at the backlog of posts. 8O
(I wish everyone would post with a meaningful subject)
I want to be able to access a webpage without the htm extension:
http://mysite/mypage
instead of
http://mysite/mypage.htm
I know this is possible because I've tried it with established sites. |

It is - i use dir (folders) inside the htdocs dir :!:
eg: servername/login
would be servername/login/ and then linking to your defalut page (eg index.html
Is that what you were looking for :?:

As said olly86, create a subdirectory in htdocs/ called mypage and put your HTML file inside it and rename it index.html . When accessing http://mysite/mypage , the server will act as if you typed http://mysite/mypage/index.html .

Correct...
Making sure that either default.htm(l) or index.htm(l) is the root page of the directory/folder...should produce the results you're looking for...

I'm sure there's great utility to what you guys have suggested, but it seems to be a workaround to the actual problem. I guess the actual issue that I should have brought forward is if there is a way to get the server to reinterpret mypage to mypage.htm (with the htm extension.) In some sites, when you type in
http//mysite/mypage
the browser's address bar automatically reasserts itself as
http//mysite/mypage.htm
This may very likely be a coding issue of the page or the server itself. Of course this will be my responsibility to determine which it is; I bring it up here to zerro in on the solution.
The reason why I place such emphasis on this problem is because although this is merely a cosmetic issue, it nonetheless provides transparency and consistency to visitors of a standard webpage. |

I'm no veteran, but you could set up an alias maybe.
Show Console>Server Config>Advanced>Aliases
Virtual Path:
mysite/mypage
Real Path:
mysite
You would have to add "mypage.htm" to the Index Files list in Server Parameters. |
