Hi,
In my site (http://www.3dadictos.com), all the categories are in the root: http://www.3dadictos.com/index.php/name-of-the-section. How can I put them directly in the root: http://www.3dadictos.com/name-of-the-section ? I think that must be simple, but I’m a rookie in Joomla:-[.
I use Teline IV in Joomla 1.6.

Make sure you have both the following have yes in the Site ->Global Configuration->site

Search Engine Friendly URLs = yes
Use Apache mod_rewrite = yes

Thank you very much, Chavan, I didn’t have Use Apache mod-rewrite = yes and now the URL seems ok, but now, when I click on the category name on the menus, I get error 404: URL not found. What I have to do to move the categories to the new address?

take a back up of you .htaccess file in the joomla root directory and then replace the following code in that file
