Description:
## A little background
I'm working on a webpage but had some problems so I upgraded to a newer version of bitnami with this little tutorial https://community.bitnami.com/t/upgrade-to-the-latest-php-or-the-latest-lamp-stack-within-the-lightsail-aws-service/57019/2 .
That worked fine.
Also got ssl back up in no time with the redirect with htaccess.

The problem

Now there is a diffrence from before. Before there was no file extentensions in the url.
So I tried chaining it in htaccess BUT there is no diffrense if I put it
in /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami.conf
or /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs/.htaccess

Also tried changing the AllowOverride between All and None.

Complete htaccess configuration I want to use :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

(The ssl part works.)

Been looking true countless of forum posts but no one seems to have the same problem...

Thnx in advance!

Okey so after some more researching and thinking, I think I have solved how to get the .php removed.
This htaccess configuration works for me in case someone else is having the same problem:

Options +MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

Hope it helps someone

Hi @jota,
No problem, but I relised on thing I had made one mistake testing.
Https is not automatically added anymore...
Any ideas what could help?

Also learned that L in [R, L] means Last.
So removed that from all that is not last.

EDIT:

current config:

Options +MultiViews
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.php [NC,QSA]

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L]

FallbackResource /index.php

So I just relised "Options +MultiViews" adds the .php automatically... facepalm

So removed

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.php [NC,QSA]

and no need for .php at the end.

But still trying to fix the https.
