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.
It is advised to disable unused modules in Magento for website optimization. Also while troubleshooting issues we can temporarily disable module(s) to see which module(s) is/are causing the issues.
Let see how we can disable the modules in Magento:
1. Login to Magento admin and go to Admin >> System >> Configuration. On the left hand side click on the Advanced section under Advanced tab.
cURL is a computer software project and it produces two products – libcurl and curl.
libcurl
A free and easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET and TFTP.
libcurl supports HTTPS certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, kerberos, HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, user+password authentication, file transfer resume, http proxy tunneling and more!
curl
A command line tool for getting or sending files using URL syntax. Since curl uses libcurl, curl supports the same wide range of common Internet protocols that libcurl does.
Optimizing Table in database is just like the doing Disk Defragmentation in your PC.
Optimize Table should be used if you have deleted a large part of a table or if you have made many changes to a table with variable length rows, such as VARCHAR, TEXT, BLOB or VARBINARY columns. Deleted rows are maintained in the linked list and insert operations reuse the old row positions. You can use “Optimize Table” to reclaim unused space and defragment the data file for optimal performance. If a lot of changes have been made to a table, optimizing the table can sometimes significantly improve performance.
