How do I get rid of index.php/ from URI

Hi

I am developing a website using CI 1.7.2 and was wondering if there is a way to get rid of index.php from thr URI and thus hide the .php extension and make way for better URLs

Right now, site_url is this: http://www.mysite.com/index.php/auth/signup and I would like to make it something like http://www.mysite.com/auth/signup and same for other controllers too.

Can you help?
