PLS help - simple url rewrite *.html to folder

Hello guys
can someone help me with an simple advice on how can I redirect all html files in website to virtual folders with the same name.
exemple:
/building.html -> /building/

I have this code in .htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ $1\.html [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)?\.html$ /$1/ [NC,R=301] - this line doesn't work

waiting for your advices.

Thanks

 

Try :
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)?\.html$ /%1/ [NC,R=301]

 

it's not working

anyone else ... any ideas?

 

your below example UN-clear or wrong!
YOU rewrite to filename again - whereas it appears that you want to rewrite to folder ONLY without filename !!??

below are both solutions - both are tested and work on my server


1.
redirect file_name.html to /folder_name/file_name.html where file_name = folder_name

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)?\.html$ /$1/$1\.html [L,R=301]


OR

2.
redirect file_name.html to /foldername/ WITHOUT any html page-redirect just to folder as you specified originally:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /var/
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)?\.html$ /$1/ [L,R=301]
