How to remove index.php and default store code from url in magento? [duplicate]

Question

I want to remove default store code and index.php from my url.

I have installed one module for remove default store code form url but after remove store core from url my site can not open without index.php.

If I allow default store code in url than I can remove index.php and site working fine.

so can anyone help to remove both("index.php" and "store code") from magento URL.

Thanks Dhvanit

You can remove the index.php in the frontend URLs performing the following steps in Magento's admin section:

In System -> Configuration -> Web -> Search Engines Optimizations, select YES.

Edit the /installdir/.htaccess and uncomment the line:

RewriteBase /magento/

In my case the subdirectory Magento is in is called magento, so change it to your subdirectory path if it is different.

For hide store url see here.
