URL rewriting in joomla

Question

I need to rewrite url in joomla. But the url should not be showing "index.php" and no numbers (0-9) as well.

1st condition: The url cannot be " http://www.abc.com/index.php/components/article" rather than it should be "http://www.abc.com/components/article".

2nd condition: the url cannot be "http://www.abc.com/components/article/9" where it contains 9 number .

How can this be done?

Answer 1

for the index part ... Perhaps this will work for you too RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.yourdomain.com/ [R=301,L]

or

Redirect 301 /index.php http://www.yourdomain.com

Answer 2

Joomla comes with htaccess.txt, and the option to rewrite urls. So you have to first change the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess on the server, then login and in the configuration settings change SEF to on, and use .htaccess to on.
