Removing index.php from URLs

To remove index.php from URLS edit the .htaccess file located in /installpath/.htaccess, to appear as follows:

# filename: .htaccess

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php

RewriteRule ^(.*)install.php$ $1/install [R=301,L]

Next, update init.php located in /installpath/lib/init.php as follows:

Code Block
languagephp
titleinit.php

define("HTACCESS", true);

Changing the path to the Admin area
