Please bear in mind that I'm a newbie with Linux.
I'm running Xubuntu, Apache2.2.8 (Ubuntu), PHP 5.2.4, MySQL 5.
When using FireFox 3.0, the site works as expected.
When using Internet Explorer 7, login fails, redisplaying the login page with the message:
Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.
When I use the Drupal administration to look at the Drupal logs, I see the following for the Firefox login:

And for the Internet Explorer login:

The only difference (other than the time) is the "Referrer" link. I read up on Clean URLs, but cannot seem to get them working correctly. I have the Apache Rewrite module loaded, and in the .htaccess file I have:
RewriteEngine on Options All RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^cardenasdow.us$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.cardenasdow.us/$1 [L,R=301] RewriteBase /drupal5 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
I used the Drupal module administration to load the Path module.
A lot of the posts I've read about this are on the confusing side because it is unclear where the file they're telling me to modify actually is. It's also not apparent where things get installed. Here's what I think I know of my directory structure:
Apache is in /etc/apache2. It has the following subdirectories:
conf.d mods-available mods-enabled sites-available sites-enabled
Drupal is in /etc/drupal/5 with subdirectories
profiles default
sites default
My website documents are in /var/www.
Drupal documents are in /var/www/drupal5.
I've tried clearing cache tables (cache, cache_filters, cache_menu, cache_page) in the drupal database to no avail.
How do I get this to work for IE7?
