What i had already try to resolve it as,

i had enabled mod_rewrite using admin panel.
try to install admin url module which remove index.php from admin url.

Note:

xyz.com/admin/

when i hit above url i see admin login panel i am login successful but got

page not found

404 error occurred....

and now url changed something like xyz.com/index.php/admin/......

when i remove that index.php from url it works

So any one have any idea? How to resolve it.

Waiting for your answer... Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

1. First of you have to enable mod_rewrite apache server.

   How enable mod_rewrite for Apache?

2. then Go to Admin -> System-> Configuration

3. Under configuration -> Web -> Search Engine Optimization settings Use Web Server Rewrites->select Yes

4. click Save Config Button.

5. Then Go to Cache management page (system cache management ) and refresh your cache and refresh to check the site.

Answer 2

The PHP module is called 'mod_rewrite', not 'mod_rewrite*s*'. Maybe that is the issue? Also, place a PHP file with contents <?php phpinfo(); ?> on your server and run it to see whether mod_rewrite is correctly loaded.

Answer 3

Another method of doing this does involve modifying a core Magento file (which is a big no, no for upgrading purposes) but works all the same: http://www.code007.ro/magento-how-to-remove-index-php-from-admin-url/

Obviously test within a test environment and create a copy of the modified file in the local directory rather than editing the core file itself as outlined in the post.
