You have to rename the htaccess.txt to .htaccess

EDIT: Tazfan was earlier

Hi guys,

As per the instructions on the Wiki, you need to rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess - Then it will work.

This is because .htaccess by default was causing some problems on some hosts.

Did you enabled it in your ACP ?
Configuration - Server and Optimization Options - Enable search engine friendly URLs? - Enabled

Yep.

And be sure you have this:
- You have to use the Apache webserver
- The rewrite mod has to be enabled
- .htaccess files has to be enabled in the config of your site: the AllowOverride variable of your directory has to be All:

An example:

	<Directory /www/>
		Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		Order allow,deny
		allow from all
	</Directory>
