I'm having an issue getting clean urls to work. I'm set-up on a shared hosting plan, and my host verified mod_rewrite is already enabled on the server side. I tried different settings in .htaccess, but nothing seems to work. Here's the interesting part: When I run the "clean URL test" it passes and the radio buttons to enable clean urls become functional. However, after selecting enable, then clicking save configuration, the selection defaults back to disabled.
The only thing which the clean URLs setting does is to make Drupal actually use them in the menu links, if they are *already* enabled by .htaccess. So, try to type some clean URLs yourself in your browser to see if they work. If they do work, then the problem is not clean URLs but saving your setting.
If they work, try also to force-enable them in your settings.php file by adding a $conf['clean_url'] = 1; at the end.
My drupal install is located in a directory called httpdocs, which I was told is equivalent to /var/www. I did not put the drupal install in a folder of its own, rather I just installed all the files in the httpdocs directory.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Troy
