[SOLVED] SEO friendly URLs for Magento

Issue

I am a newbie to Magento and Apache conf. I'm using Magento 1.8.0. I have configured the path so as to remove index.php from the URLs for my pages eg from

/magento/index.php/electronics/cell-phones.html

to

/magento/electronics/cell-phones.html

However my browser requests now direct to the index.php of my server root. I have tried adding a config section for magento as shown, but no change. What am I doing wrong?

<Directory "C:/hiddenpath/apache2/htdocs/magento">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from none
</Directory>

Solution

In your .htaccess file find Rewrite Base/ and replace it with Rewrite Base/magento if it is commented using # un comment it.
