After hacking my settings.php file to force clean urls to stay enabled, I found I was unable to enable any blocks, and was unable to log in to the site with <a href="http://www.domain.com/user">www.domain.com/user</a> - I had to still use <a href="http://www.domain.com/?q=user">www.domain.com/?q=user</a>. After removing $conf['clean_url'] = 1; from settings.php, I can now enable blocks on the site, but clean urls still does not work. <br>
<br>Any suggestions on what changes need to take place for clean urls to stay enabled? As previously determined, this is not a clean url problem, but a problem with saving my settings.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Troy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Of course it isn't normal. As I suspected, "If they do work, then the<br>
problem is not clean URLs but saving your setting." The problem is<br>
probably that your session is lost for some reason and for a moment<br>
Drupal does not recognize you.<br>
<br>
This can be hard to track. Did you say what your Drupal version was?<br>
<br>
One thing which often helps in recent versions is to go to<br>
settings.php and set $cookie_domain = '<a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example.com</a>';<br>
(important:*without* www) and remove the front #. Also check if there<br>
is a wrong $base_url left over (if any).<br>
