If you server is running on Apache you can use the build in optimization for Apache. This gives you the possibilities to have short URL and a slightly better search engine performance.
To use the build in Apache in Gecko you need to do two things, first open the db.php file and set following definition:
define('JAK_USE_APACHE', 1);
Then upload the .htaccess file provided in the download package or create your own with following content:
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
ErrorDocument 404 /404/
order deny,allow
allow from none
deny from all
Upload both files into the correct location .htaccess needs to be in the root directory and enjoy the apache version of Gecko.
