If using Windows' IIS 7.0 as your web server, add the following rewrite configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
     <system.webServer>
         <rewrite>
             <rules>
                 <rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
                     <match url="^.*$" />
                     <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
                         <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}"
                             matchType="IsFile" pattern=""
                             ignoreCase="false" />
                         <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}"
                             matchType="IsDirectory"
                             pattern="" ignoreCase="false" />
                     </conditions>
                     <action type="None" />
                 </rule>
                 <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
                     <match url="^.*$" />
                     <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
                 </rule>
