You can do thtat with a .htaccess file

put this in a .htaccess file and place it in de root of your site apache must have mod-rewrite on

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^news.php news [QSA,L]

try this for all files

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(a-zA-Z0-9).php $1 [QSA,L]

Assuming you have installed the rewrite module, you could put this in your virtualhost:

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule /newsdev/news /newsdev/news.php [L]

Check this site for more information on RewriteRule: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule

But I doubt this is the best way. The rewritemodule is usually not the most efficient way to do easy things like these. Depends on what other complex things you want to rewrite.

With mod_rewrite

You need to work with the .htaccess file in your site root... you'll have to create one if it's not there.
