+<h3>Configuring your web server to allow rewrites</h3>
+If you are using Apache, and due to new friendly URL features added in 1.10, you will be required to <b>AllowOverride All</b> (and possibly install the ModRewrite extension for Apache). This means that, inside your Apache configuration (or your VirtualHost configuration), you will need to have a block similar to this (the directory given is the same as in the <i>DocumentRoot</i> directive):
+<pre>
+  &lt;Directory /var/www/chamilo&gt;
+    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
+    AllowOverride All
+    Order allow,deny
+    allow from all
+  &lt;/Directory&gt;
+</pre>
+In particular, the "AllowOverride All" clause is the one that matters. This will allow PHP to send the user from one page to another freely, thus allowing for a more user-friendly experience.<br />
+Once you've made sure "AllowOverride" says "All", you can safely save the file, get out of it and reload the web server (<i>sudo service apache2 reload</i> under Debian/Ubuntu, or click right on the WAMP/XAMP/EasyPHP icon and "reload web server" under Windows).
