Yes! It would be nice if drupal gave me a little more information about just what fails. It sends you off to http://staging.example.com/drupal/admin/settings/clean-urls
where you see a "404: Not Found" error. All my logs say is that I tried to reach a page that didn't exist (er, and that the page was http://staging.example.com/drupal/admin/settings/clean-urls which, indeed, does not exist)
I did read through http://drupal.org/node/15365
I did set the rewrite base.
Changing the Apache <directory> directive to "AllowOverride All" does work, but I'd like to limit the change to the drupal directory, which I haven't been able to do.
15 <Directory /srv/apache2/staging/drupal/> 16 AllowOverride All 17 </Directory>
Doesn't get me anywhere.
Adding a rewrite base to the directory setting doesn't help anything:
15 <Directory /srv/apache2/staging/drupal/> 16 AllowOverride All 17 RewriteEngine On 18 RewriteBase /drupal 19 </Directory>
I don't know any more tricks, myself. I'm not sure how to interpret the rewrite rule suggested on drupal.org ...
<Directory /var/www/example.com> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA] </Directory>
I realize that this is an Apache question at this point, but it requires just enough knowledge of Drupal that I sort of need help here. If anyone has any insights or fortitude with Apache configuration, I'd like to resolve this.
Thanks, Amanda

Quoting Amanda B Hickman amanda@velociraptor.info:
Currently, the "clean url" test just fails.
It'd be kind if it would tell you why now wouldn't it? I've never had one fail. Have you looked at the php and server log files? Perhaps the watchdog table gives a clue? Do you need to set the RewriteBase?
