Remove Index.php from Magento URL in .htaccess

I recently setup a magento store and the URL is mydomain.com/index.php/admin or mydomain.com/index.php/about-us. I'd like to remove the index.php and I googled methods on how to and I found this code should work, but it does not:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

############################################
## enable rewrites

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on

############################################
## you can put here your magento root folder
## path relative to web root

    RewriteBase /

############################################
## workaround for HTTP authorization
## in CGI environment

    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

############################################
## always send 404 on missing files in these folders

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(media|skin|js)/

############################################
## never rewrite for existing files, directories and links

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

############################################
## rewrite everything else to index.php

    RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

</IfModule>

Thanks.

Go to Magento Back end.

Navigate to System > Configuration then Web in left hand side sidebar.

Now chose Use Web Server Rewrites to Yes

Clear the Cache.

Done

Looks like you have given wrong relative path of your Magento root folder:

## you can put here your magento root folder
## path relative to web root

RewriteBase /

You really should use the second method and let Magento force the rewrite rule. Its the cleanest way. It will do exactly that, remove index.php from the url in all cases.

What you have to make sure first, is that, in Apache, (If that's what you are using) to enable Mod Rewrites ... THEN you can add the following to your .htaccess file.

To enable Mod Rewrites:

sudo a2enmod

From SSH command line (or talk to your host)

.htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
