XF 1.3 How to simplify URL'S.

[BoxmanCaleb]

Hello, I am trying to make it so instead of having /index.php at the end of my URL to just make it www.mydomain.net then have the forums be /forums instead of http://mydomain.net/index.php?forums/.

Any help is very well appreciated.

Okay I've done that, but when I try to visit anything besides the index it says "The requested URL /forums/ was not found on this server."

Then you haven't followed all of the steps to implement FURLs.

I checked both things, I am on Apache what else do I need to do?

Is your .htaccess file in place?

In the main Xenforo folder it is.

In the main Xenforo folder it is.

Is it in .htaccess format still or do you still have it in a htaccess.txt file format?

Apache
Apache is the most common web server available. If you are unsure what web server you are running, it is likely Apache. Therefore, XenForo includes the necessary configuration file in the root directory.

If after uploading XenForo, you do not see an ".htaccess" file in your XenForo root directory, rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess (be sure to include the "." prefix). You should now be able to enable friendly URLs. If, after enabling friendly URLs your XenForo installation does not function correctly, please contact your host to confirm that they have mod_rewrite installed and allow overrides via an .htaccess file.

.htaccess is there

LABELED AS: HTACCESS File

Have you confirmed that mod_rewrite is installed and allow overrides is set?
