I guess nothing is supposed to work on some platform and not on others (Windows, Unix...). Did you try upgrading RewriteLogLevel to 3? You should get more information on what's happening. Another note: Kriss is right, if you want to redirect anything to your php files, remember to never print the real php path. Never use PHP_SELF or such: instead, always replace php to html when you need links, redirect, or URL that would be printed to your html output...

I think I understand both of you guys... the [L] is to stop any further rule processing. Is it work with Apache on Windows ? I have added the [L] but it seems not stopping.

So you first rewrite *.html to *.php and then tell your server to forbid access to *.php, and you get exactly that. First a question: Why do you want to do this? This will cause all kinds of trouble, like when a piece of php generates self referencing urls, that will naturlally end in .php. Forms for example work like this. Hi Krist, It is requested by my client as he doesn't want client to guess the scripting engine that being used. And how do I forbid the php extension access while stil can map html to php extension ? What you can do however is: - Play with the order of the rules. - Add the [L] flag to stop processing. Hm... can you please give me an example ? I'm quite frustrated with this :) Many Thanks...
