Can I remove index.php from seo links? - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi guys,

no matter xml site map builder use (xmap, jsitemap etc.) output includes index.php in each link, how out?

for example:
code:
http://www.example.ie/index.php/about-us/job-seekers.html

should be...
code:
http://www.example.ie/about-us/job-seekers.html

i've noticed have...

code: select all

rewritecond %{the_request} ^[a-z]+\ /index\.php(/[^\ ]*)?\ http/
rewriterule ^index\.php(/(.*))?$ /$2 [r=301,l]

in .htaccess already, i'm not sure why have...

seo settings

search engine friendly urls = yes
use url rewriting = yes
adds suffix url = yes
unicode aliases = yes

if remove additional htaccess code links change to:
code:
http://www.example.ie/index.php/about-us/whatever.html

really stuck on , client getting anxious.

anyone clue?

i don't know why have these lines:

code: select all

rewritecond %{the_request} ^[a-z]+\ /index\.php(/[^\ ]*)?\ http/
rewriterule ^index\.php(/(.*))?$ /$2 [r=301,l]

in .htaccess file. don't think should there @ all.

you should download fresh copy of joomla , replace current .htaccess file .htaccess file in copy (rename htaccess.txt).
