Error Message: 404 error

Whenever I upload a HTML file, and go to the web address, it returns a 404 error every time. I was having an error yesterday with it saying ‘Too many redirects’ but I fixed that now.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Can we have your URL and the page link where the error occurs?

[MazeRunner800]

Sure. The url is mazer800.xyz, and the page where the error occurs is mazer800.xyz/youtube

I added something in my .htaccess file in htdocs which removes the .html from the URL, it’s worked with other URLs before.

Can you please send a screenshot of the /htdocs directory, as well as that .htaccess file?
Thanks!

Here’s the htdocs directory:

Here’s the .htaccess file. The rest of it is some Mozilla Observatory recommendations to get myself an A+ rating for my site. I believe lines 6 to 9 is the code to remove the .html from the URL:

Try temporary removing lines 5-9 in the .htaccess file (take a backup first), clear your cache (and Cloudflare cache if you use Cloudflare), than try and load https://mazer800.xyz/youtube.html and see if it works. If it does, one (or more) of those lines you removed us to blame.

Thanks.

Wow, it works
Must have been that code then.

Thanks for your help.

No problem,
Here is the code I use to remove the .html and .php extension. Feel free to copy it and see if it works.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
