Joomla Permalinks installation.

[jerickalmeda43]

In Joomla Default SEO Settings(if we are to read an article, notice this link, by default): http://www.yourlink.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3975&Itemid=934

Then, if we'll follow the instructions below, this will be the link (depending on how it will interpret.
http://www.yourlink.com/Section_Name/Category_Name/Item Name/

1) Confirm that your web hosting company support's Apache and mod_rewrite.
( most web hosting providers do support this functionality )
2) Access your web host using an FTP client
3) Navigate to the root directory or Joomla installation directory.
4) Select the htaccess.txt file and rename it to .htaccess
5) Now Access the Joomla administrator console
6) Select the Global Configuration item.
7) Select the SEO tab
8) Enable Search Engine Friendly URLs
9) A popup box will now appear to confirm you have renamed the htaccess.txt to .htaccess

1. 
2. In Global configuration, select yes to all three SEF options. The action of the three parameters is as follows:
   • Search Engine Friendly URLs. Converts the URLs from the native Joomla! format to the SEF format.
   • Use Apache mod_rewrite. Uses the Apache “mod_rewrite” function to eliminate the “index.php” portion of the URL. If you don’t want to use mod_rewrite, set this to “No” and don’t rename the htaccess.txt. The SEF URLs feature will still work. The only difference is that you will see “index.php” in the URL, for example, http://www.yoursite.org/index.php/faq.html.
   • Add suffix to URLs. Adds “.html” to the end of URLs
