[support] clean urls

[Metzler, David]

These rewrite rules are expressed in the .htaccess file provided with
the drupal distribution, which by default is not enabled in the apache
server.  In your apache  configuration file (http.conf or vhost.conf)
you need to explicitly allow overrides for the .htaccess file to be
loaded. This is done by including and AllowOverride directive in the
apache configuration file. 

 

I should also point out that depending on how you extracted and copied
your drupal distribution, it's possible that the .htaccess file was not
copied to your site at at all.  This would also make it so that the
clean urls test would fail.  

 

So you need to make sure three things are done. 

 

1.	there is in fact a .htaccess file in the your drupal sites main
directory. 
2.	Mod_rewrite is enabled in your apache configuration file. 
3.	The apache configuration relavent to your drupal install
includes an Allowoverride All directive in it.

 

Hope that helps. 


Dave

"Clean URLs" is done by implementing a rewrite rule that changes the
non-domain portion of the URL into a query string. If you don't have
mod_rewrite installed, then it can't do that.
