[support] Troubleshooting URL rewrites

[Andrew Hankinson]

Hi Amanda,

Drupal should pick up its mod_rewrite settings from the .htaccess  
file in the Drupal directory.

You might try moving your rewrite rules to .htaccess files in the  
appropriate directories, removing them from your apache configuration  
files.

Cheers,
Andrew
