Dear all,

Please share here how to make SMF to becoming more search engine friendly, I've been searching everywhere but what I've got is biased.

Maybe mods should make one thread to be sticky about url mod rewrite, so people could find it easily :)

Thanks a lot.

admin->features and options>Search engine friendly URLs

enable this feature, but your http server must be apache.

You cannot. Since this is an apache feature.
Or maybe I dont know any other servers that re-writes the URLs :)
But I am sure IIS doesnt support this.

ok, i have an apache server but it's in CGI configuration...maybe this is the problem??

SEF can work fine with apache in CGI configuration?
How?

No cant.
PHP must be compiled as an Apache module. Not CGI.
This is why it doesnt work in your forum. (since the re-writing handler is Apache, not CGI)
