Turning on SEF on a shared hosting account can be a bit confusing for some. Here is an outline on how to get it done with a little less aggravation.
First Make sure your .htacces file has the modifications below.
Edit the htaccess.txt file— For Search Engine Friendly (SEF) URLs, you will need to edit the htaccess.txt file to turn on the RewriteBase option. In the file, you will find a line that reads #RewriteBase / that you need to change to RewriteBase / — remove the pound (#) sign.
Next, go to your global configuration. Turn on the following by selecting the 'Yes' radio button.
| Search Engine Friendly URLs | |
| Use Apache mod_rewrite |  |
| Add suffix to URLs |
The last one is not necessary merely cosmetic.
One last thing, make sure you clear your cache to see your changes.
