If you want  enable from admin panel  Web Server Rewrites = yes

Then make sure your .htaccess file in main root folder.

Yes, in my root folder consists .htaccess file, still, i get an error.

Make sure your Secure and Unsecure base urls should end with “/”.

Also check if mod_rewrite is enabled on your server.

Also, check if mod_rewrite is enabled on your server at all. You can create simple PHP script and execute it:

<?php
phpinfo();

and search for mod_rewrite. If it's disabled, you'll have to add it according to the manual which you can find at http://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/21033/remove-index-php-from-the-magento-url-gives-404-err...

Another thing, if you're using Nginx instead of Apache2, then .htaccess won't have any effect. You'll have to configure Nginx properly, there are many manuals on the internet.
