[users@httpd] Hiding file extensions using htaccess

I want to hide file extensions. My htaccess file contains:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.shtml -f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$              $1.shtml

But the above lines do not allow files to be accessed without
the ".shtml" extension. Could you tell me what the mistake in my
htaccess file is? A soft link to the whole htaccess file is at:

    http://students.iiit.net/~deepak_r/htaccess

Thanks in advance,
Rajasekaran Deepak

No, I cannot see any glaring errors.

Typically, all you need to do to a vanilla Apache, is to add Options
MultiViews on some directory. Might have something to du with mod_userdir;
does it work on non-userdir directories?

I commented out the rewrites and tried
"MultiviewsMatch Handlers Filters" and even
"MultiviewsMatch Any" in my htaccess file.
But I am still not able to access files
without their extensions.

.html pages on non-userdir directories are also not
accessible without their extensions.

I had sent httpd.conf as an attachment with my previous mail.
I have read-only access to httpd.conf .
A soft link to the htaccess file is at:

The httpd.conf file appears to enable MultiViews.
But I am not able to access files without their extensions.
I am including /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf as an attachment.
My home directory is /2k-2k1/deepak_r/ .
Could you tell me where the error is?

Thanks in advance,
