html - .htaccess file not working on linux server -

i know there more questions , answers none of them usefull me.

i configured website on apache linux server,that i'm managing cpannel.and edited .htaccess file remove html extensions url. after uploaded file manager , nothing changes.what need make work ?

i've been searching configuration files set allowoverride all didn't found anything.and don't have etc/apache2/ directory in file manager, there other files in etc/ directory.

edit: server info :

hosting package:startup2013

server name: wolf

cpanel version: 11.50.1 (build 3)

theme: paper_lantern

apache version: 2.4.16

php version: 5.6.12

mysql version: 5.6.23

architecture: x86_64

operating system: linux

shared ip address: 185.81.0.40

path sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail

path perl: /usr/bin/perl

perl version: 5.10.1

kernel version: 2.6.32-573.3.1.el6.x86_64

here .htaccess code :

rewriteengine on rewritecond %{request_filename} !-f rewriterule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [nc,l] 

i assume you're not running ubuntu server, that's why don't have /etc/apache2 directory.

try this:

edit httpd.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf , set allowoverride all

then: apachectl restart

if doesn't work please run: cat /etc/*-release , show output, can know linux distribution running.

edit: .htaccess working fine, op wanted remove .html extensions

this .htaccess need in order remove .html extensions:

rewriteengine on rewritebase /  #removes .html extension rewritecond %{the_request} ^[a-z]+\s.+\.html\shttp/.+ rewriterule ^(.+)\.html $1 [r=301,l]  rewritecond %{request_filename} !-f rewriterule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [nc,l]
