Topic: Clean URL structure

How do I clean up the URL structure? Currently it lists the url by directory and pages (e.g. general/pages/custompage). I searched through the admin section and found the option for clean urls but not sure what to do. It mentioned the htaccess and the rewrite module.

Having the generic urls makes the site look unprofessional. If someone could explain how to do this I would really appreciate it.


Thanks a lot

Re: Clean URL structure

Your server needs to have the rewrite facility, and these days most do have it but you'll need to check with your hosting provider. You'll also need to add the .htaccess file to your root. Mine contains a long list of actions and you should check the contents of the file provided in the download - generally it should work without any changes.
