Pretty URLs

Out of the box, Nova includes a filename in the URL. Learn how to get rid of that file in the URL.

Apache

If your server is running Apache (your web host will know if you don't), you can create a file named .htaccess on the server at the root of your site. The following configuration should work for most servers:

1RewriteEngine On
2RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
3RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
4RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Nginx

If your server is running Nginx (your web host will know if you don't), you'll have to modify one of the servers files to get URL re-writing working properly. You can edit the /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf file and add the following to your server object:

1location / {
2 # Check if a file or directory index file exists, else route it to index.php.
3 try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
4}
