Configuring your web server to allow rewrites

+If you are using Apache, and due to new friendly URL features added in 1.10, you will be required to AllowOverride All (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 DocumentRoot directive): +
+  <Directory /var/www/chamilo>
+    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
+    AllowOverride All
+    Order allow,deny
+    allow from all
+  </Directory>
+
+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.
+Once you've made sure "AllowOverride" says "All", you can safely save the file, get out of it and reload the web server (sudo service apache2 reload under Debian/Ubuntu, or click right on the WAMP/XAMP/EasyPHP icon and "reload web server" under Windows). +
