:1. Rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.
:2. Make sure that Mod_rewrite is working. Check that the line shown below in the file "apache/conf/httpd.conf" is uncommented. If necessary, uncomment the line and re-start the Apache web server.
::<code>LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so</code>
:3. In Global configuration, select yes to all three SEF options. The action of the three parameters is as follows:
::* '''Search Engine Friendly URLs.''' Converts the URLs from the native Joomla! format to the SEF format.
::* '''Use Apache mod_rewrite. ''' Uses the Apache "mod_rewrite" function to eliminate the "index.php" portion of the URL. If you don't want to use mod_rewrite, set this to "No" and don't rename the htaccess.txt. The SEF URLs feature will still work. The only difference is that you will see "index.php" in the URL, for example, <code><nowiki>http://www.yoursite.org/index.php/faq.html</nowiki></code>. 
::* '''Add suffix to URLs.''' Adds ".html" to the end of URLs.
