Itroduction
To rewrite URL's you just need to do some small settings in the Back-end --> System --> Settings and in the .htaccess file
Requirements
Access to the Website root and be able to change the .htaccess file.
Changes
In Back-end --> System --> Settings you have to mark the field "Rewrite URLs" . Also set the Relative path to the Contao directory under Global configuration to the specific folder ... as example /contao. If you have a root installation (not in a sub-folder installed) you let this field just free.
When you do a installation of Contao you have in the "root-folder" of it a .htaccess.default this has to be renamed in .htaccess . Dont forget to rename the .htaccess to something like .htaccess.old . If you use a sub-folder for your Contao, it needs to be maked in the .htaccess it self too. The Section is:
## # Set the RewriteBase if your Contao installation is in a subdirectoy and # the rewrite rules are not working properly. Usage examples: # # RewriteBase /contao # RewriteBase /path/to/contao # # Uncomment the following line to set the RewriteBase. ## RewriteBase /contao
