title: Simple mod rewrite redirect not working
body: <p>Hi I'm trying to code a mod rewrite that redirects /example to /example.php . The code looks like it should be working but it's not :</p>
  
  <pre><code>Options +FollowSymLinks
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/$ /$1.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>error log file :</p>
