You got me on the right track.

I had tried q=user to log on but it didn’t work.

q=admin/settings no only works but everything showed with clean url.

Not familiar with “allow overrides” is or how to configure it.

Thanks

Ron

 

Also I'd verify that allow overrides is configured for this directory in Apache, and that mod_rewrite is enabled. 

 

You can also temporarily test drupal without clean URL's enabled.  You should be able to access the back door page by navigating directly to http://localhost/inmrc?q=admin/settings.  Drupal will let you know whether clean URL's will work with your current apache config settings.  You can temporarily disable clean urls' while you get your apache config working right.

Subject: [support] Base URL Problem

I am setting up a new test server on Ubunt Linux. Every thing was looking Good, until I tried to get past the first page in Drupal.

 

I copy this whole site directory from Windows to Linux the databases are identical every thing is the same.

Except that the windows machine used php5. The Linux machine is using php4.3.

 

I figure it’s something to do with the apache 2 setup or configuration.

This is the base string

$base_url = 'http://localhost/inmrc';

 

This is the error I get.

 

The requested URL /inmrc/user was not found on this server.

 

The base directory string is correct, but it seams to ignore the http://localhost part

 

Has anybody experienced this?

Thanks

Ron
