Magento URL rewrite and SEO

Question

The website is in a sub-folder:

www.example.com/sub-folder/index.php/webpage.html

How do I hide /sub-folder/index.php/ to make the displayed URL www.example.com/webpage.html ? Does hiding it affect SEO at all?

Answer 1

Technically it is ideal to be without /sub-folder/, but it would not matter that much if you have it under the subfolder directory as long as you take care of the other onpage factors on your shop. Why don't you move the website to the root directory?

Answer 2

If the magento installed under /shop or directory then add the following rules into ” /home/username/public_html/shop/.htaccess ” file.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /shop/RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /shop/index.php [L]</IfModule>
