To remove index.php from the Urls in Magento, I enabled web server rewrites from Magento admin. I cleared the Magento cache and refreshed the home page. The home page loaded well and index.php was removed from all the links on home page but when I clicked link on any home page it gave me 404 error.  If I added index.php to the page URL in browser manually it loaded well. I had Apache running on Ubuntu.
