multi-domain setup: template entry.url includes index.php

Question

.htaccess is working fine. If I manually type url.com/about it shows the page. If I manually type url.com/asdf it shows 404 template page.

url.com/index.php/testPathInfo shows success

general.php has

return array(
    '*' => array(
        'omitScriptNameInUrls' => 'true',
    ),
...

but when templates contain {{ url('about') }} or {{ entry.url }} I get url.com/index.php?p=whatever-this-is-supposed-to-be

I'm probably missing something easy and obvious but I've been staring at it all morning. Could it still be the mod_rewrite enabled thing even though it's rewriting fine?

.htaccess content

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /

   # Send would-be 404 requests to Craft
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(favicon\.ico|apple-touch-icon.*\.png)$ [NC]
   RewriteRule (.+) index.php?p=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

OMG I'm so angry at myself!

Not 'omitScriptNameInUrls' => 'true',

but 'omitScriptNameInUrls' => true,
