I'm attempting to clean some urls in a simple PHP application I have deployed on google cloud servers (Ubuntu). However, the redirect conditions I have written in a .htaccess file seemed to be ignored. I've went through Google's documentation and I haven't found a solution, I've gone through my .config files and ensured that mods_rewrite was enabled. I was thinking that because i'm on a shared server that the rules are being ignored. IF anyone has any suggestions or workarounds, please suggest.

Here is the .htaccess file for reference:

Options +MultiViews

#Remove php extension
 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteCond %REQUEST_FILENAME !-d
 RewriteCond %REQUEST_FILENAME.php -f
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

#Remove html extension

 RewriteCond %REQUEST_FILENAME !-d
 RewriteCond %REQUEST_FILENAME.html -f
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html

at google cloud service you can install apache2 and enbale .htaccess on it :')

Note to enable .Htaccess go to : /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

and search this line :

<Directory /var/www/>
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
 AllowOverride None
 Require all granted
</Directory>

change to :

<Directory /var/www/>
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
 AllowOverride All
 Require all granted
</Directory>

I spent a few hours playing with the .config files, if you edit the virtual host settings in 000-default.conf in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ folder . I removed the Options Followsyslinks line. I don't know how this will effect security or performance, so I'll read up on that.

*Note that this for apache version 2.4.18
