Hi Amanda,
Drupal should pick up its mod_rewrite settings from the .htaccess file in the Drupal directory.
You might try moving your rewrite rules to .htaccess files in the appropriate directories, removing them from your apache configuration files.
Cheers, Andrew

I'm setting up Drupal on a subdirectory of our site and struggling mightily with clean URLs. I think this is an Apache issue, or a fixing my Apache config issue, but I'm not sure how to fix it without breaking the rest of the site.
I have full control over the apache configuration, but I inherited a site with a fair amount of tweaking, rewrite rules to accommodate a site restructuring long ago, and more tweaking.
Mod_rewrite is definitely enabled, and we're using it extensively in other places.
What I'd like to do is add a line or six to the "staging.conf" (and eventually to www.conf) in my apache configs that will give drupal control over URL rewriting in the drupal directory without interfering with anything else.
Currently, the "clean url" test just fails.
I've looked around in the handbook, and don't see anything that looks like it is going to solve my problem, so I'm wondering if anyone has advice for me.
thanks, Amanda
