title: How to change the PHP file extension using .htaccess file on GoDaddy Linux Hosting?
body: <p>I am using the following .htaccess rules to modify the PHP file extensions to HTML:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I placed the .htaccess file as well as two PHP files (page1.php and page2.php) in the root.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to access the PHP files using the html extension instead (page1.html or page2.html) I get the 404 error message stating the page cannot be found.</p>
  
  <p>Could you please guide me to the right direction?</p>
