Hi @APJHLE

Yes, see docs/FAQ:

   4) How can I remove "index.php" from the URLs in OJS?

A: OJS uses a REST-style URL syntax for all of its links.  To force OJS to remove the
   "index.php" portion of all URLs, edit config.inc.php and set "restful_urls" to "On".

   In addition, your server will have to support URL rewriting in order to recognize
   the new URLs.  Apache servers use the mod_rewrite plugin, which must be enabled
   in your httpd.conf, and the following section added to the correct section of either
   your httpd.conf or an .htaccess file (preferred) in your OJS root directory (the same
   location as config.inc.php):

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
  </IfModule>
