Thanks for that. My .htaccess was fine, and the problem was immediately solved by adding `'omitScriptNameInUrls' => true,`
to the general.php file

When I use {{page.link}} or {{page.url}} in a template I am getting

<http://mysite.dev/index.php?p=pages/about/history>

when what I really want is

<http://mysite.dev/pages/about/history>

The latter URL works fine on the site, but I'm using the above code to try and create a menu, and don't want the menu item linking to the first URL.

How do I fix this?
