    You might be missing a .htaccess file. It should contain something like this:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    Code (markup):

    yes...modifing or adding .htaccess entries may even give u a 500 error sometimes....if you are unsure...then just rollback the changes u have made and add the change boltok told to the bottom of .htaccess file...save it...then if the problem persists either generate a new .htaccess file or contact your server administrator or tech support

    Maybe it is because you're phone and PC isn't using the same character encoding.

    I'm not sure I follow you but if you're using two different internet connection for PC vs phone then your domain may not be fully propagated yet. If that's it, it will clear up soon.
