Joomla – howto active SEF (search engine friendly URLs)

If not already done, enable “Override” for Options and FileInfo in your apache configuration (needed for mod_rewrite and symlinks):

<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/##user##/html">
AllowOverride Options FileInfo
</Directory>


Move the default htaccess.txt to .htaccess and activate SEF in your Joomla config. That’s all : )
