The following is extracted from my online article "Drupal Develoipment Server" <a href="http://awebfactory.com.ar/node/345">http://awebfactory.com.ar/node/345</a>:<br><br>Ubuntu:<br><p>
In order for clean URLs to work in Drupal, you need to enable .htaccess
files and install mod rewrite. First I edited
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.
</p>
<p>
Before (lines 10-18):
</p>
<pre><Directory /var/www/><br>Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews<br>AllowOverride None<br>Order allow,deny<br>allow from all<br>...<br></pre><p>
After:
</p>
<pre><Directory /var/www/><br>Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews<br>AllowOverride All<br>...<br></pre><p>
Then I executed the following in order to enable mod_rewrite and restart apache server:
</p>
<pre># a2enmod rewrite<br>Module rewrite installed; run /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload to enable.<br></pre><pre># apache2ctl restart <br></pre><p>
The apache server restarted ok, but I got this pesky error:
</p>
<pre>apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, <br>using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName<br></pre><p>
I edited /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and added a ServerName directive just under the ServerRoot directive:
</p>
<pre>ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"<br>ServerName hostname<br></pre><p>Where hostname should be whatever you get when you execute
"hostname". You should get an error message free apache server restart
now.
</p>Restart apache server:<br><br>$ apache2ctl restart<br><br>And you should be good to go for clean urls<br><br>Victor Kane<br><a href="http://awebfactory.com.ar">http://awebfactory.com.ar</a><br><a href="http://projectflowandtracker.com">http://projectflowandtracker.com</a><br>

Have you downloaded .htaccess file along with code?<br><br>Do you have .htaccess support enabled in your web server (Allowoverride All, check in httpd.conf)<br><br>This should help<br><br>Vinay<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
