How to remove index.php from URL magento?

If you are using Magento and in your shop URL, if you see “index.php” and wanted to remove it then here is the solution.

- Login to Magento admin panel
- Go to System -> Configuration -> Web -> Search Engines Optimization -> Use Web Server Rewrites
- Select ‘Yes’ from the selection list and Save.
- Goto your site root folder and you can find the .htaccess file. Just edit that. Open it on a text editor and find this line, #Rewrite Base /magento/ . Just replace it with Rewrite Base / .
- Then goto your Cache Management page ( System > Cache Management) and refresh your Cache and also refresh the Web Redirects.

And, you are done. Now, index.php is gone from your Magento shop URL.
