Remove extension .html through .htaccess in sub directory – CPanel

First off – sorry for asking this question again. It seems to be answered a million times – but I still can’t get my .htaccess to work.

The problem:
In public_html we have a working website and an .htaccess file. In a sub-directory called “staging” we have another website running which is totally independent from the website in public_html. How can I address the sub-directory with an .htaccess in order to remove the .html extensions? We are on a apache server with cPanel, shared hosting (Hostgator).

.htaccess in public_html

# -- concrete5 urls start --
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]


</IfModule>
# -- concrete5 urls end --

<IfModule mod_headers.c>    
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin *
</IfModule>
#Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin *

.htaccess in staging

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html [NC,L]

Any (detailed) help or instructions would be highly appreciated!

    Just keep the staging/.htaccess, but remove RewriteBase /, because this causes the relative substitution path $1.html to be searched at /$1.html instead of /staging/$1.html.

    The RewriteBase directive specifies the URL prefix to be used for per-directory (htaccess) RewriteRule directives that substitute a relative path.

    You also don’t need the NC|nocase, because the pattern doesn’t contain any “alphabetic” letters.

    RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html [L]

    It seems that you could use this

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    in subdirectory or modify parent htaccess.
    As I tested it at http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/ it works.

    Are your pages real static html pages or html addresses are generated by some CMS’s links system?
