redirect extention with 301

[djpassion]

how do i 301 this rule

RewriteRule contact.html contact.php

i have the above rewriterule in .htaccess and now the below url can be accessed

http://www.djpassions.com/contact.html

but how do i get contact.php to redirect to contact.html? so if someone goes to http://www.djpassions.com/contact.php will be redirected to http://www.djpassions.com/contact.html

ive checked loads of docs on the net about this but none of the suggestions work

Hi djpassion,
it's not rewrite rule but it redirect the page using 301.

Redirect 301 /contact.php http://www.djpassions.com/contact.html

[itconstruct]

if you use cpanel to administer your website you can create a redirect from within cpanel quickly and easily!

If you are unsure let me take a look.

Im using e107 cms with the furl plugin so think thats why the page rewrite isnt working

When i try Redirect 301 /contact.php http://www.djpassions.com/contact.html

I just get page /contact.html not found so think its something to do with static/dynamic

I have a redirect section in cpanel too but that doesnt work either

Try:

RewriteRule ^contact\.html$ contact.php [L]

Or .. for each file:

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php [L]

#AddHandler fcgid-script.php
#FCGIWrapper /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/fcgiwrapper.php
