    I am still building my website, and am also still learning.

    Having problem with very many 404 errors.

    http://domain.com/page ........ causes 404 error
    http://domain.com/page.html .......... is fine

    If it does matter, I created own http://domain.com/404.html page,
    and .htaccess file - as

    ErrorDocument 404 http://domain.com/404.html
    AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html


    Hoping for an easy solution, with simple instructions.

    Thank you in advance.

    Do a 301 redirect from
    domain.com/page into domain.com/page.html

    So whatever hits the /page should get bounced onto page.html

    its best redirect 404 to your site index page by editing .htaccess as
    ErrorDocument 404 http://domain.com

    it will redirect every 404 to domain.com
