Re: [support] Enabling Clean URLs in 6.19

The other two are | ||AllowOverride All AccessFileName .htaccess| (http://drupal.org/node/15365) |which can be set differently depending on whether or not you want it site wide or per virtual host and I usually set FollowSymLink, though this node recommends a better way. http://drupal.org/node/656022 || Make sure you also run a page with phpinfo() to make sure the mod_rewrite module is actually loading.

Sorry I'm not more detailed, I'm usually surprised when it works, so formulas may vary. I've included link to smarter people than me.

I usually have to make 2 changes in my httpd.conf file on a new install to get clean urls to work. The directions linked to on the page work well, ask if you get stuck.

Don,

This is a local (private) installation so I can learn Drupal and build my

new site before transferring everything to the live server.

In /etc/httpd/httpd.conf is the line:

LoadModule rewrite_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so

so that seems to be enabled for the server.

In /var/www/htdocs/drupal-sqlite/.htaccess I see:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on

# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

# Rewrite URLs of the form 'x' to the form 'index.php?q=x'.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

Should any of the above be changed?

Guidance appreciated.
