Hello Victor, Thanks. Clean URLs works with apache now. -- Thanks & Regards, Nikhil Kala http://www.nikhilkala.com 2009/3/27 Victor Kane <victorkane@gmail.com>

The following is extracted from my online article "Drupal Develoipment Server" http://awebfactory.com.ar/node/345:

Ubuntu:

In order for clean URLs to work in Drupal, you need to enable .htaccess files and install mod rewrite. First I edited /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.

Before (lines 10-18):

<Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all ...

After:

<Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All ...

Then I executed the following in order to enable mod_rewrite and restart apache server:

# a2enmod rewrite Module rewrite installed; run /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload to enable.

# apache2ctl restart

The apache server restarted ok, but I got this pesky error:

apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

I edited /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and added a ServerName directive just under the ServerRoot directive:

ServerRoot "/etc/apache2" ServerName hostname

Where hostname should be whatever you get when you execute "hostname". You should get an error message free apache server restart now. Restart apache server:

$ apache2ctl restart

And you should be good to go for clean urls

Have you downloaded .htaccess file along with code?

Do you have .htaccess support enabled in your web server (Allowoverride All, check in httpd.conf)

This should help

Hello All,

I have couple of sites running fine on Drupal 5. I used clean URL and autopath module to seo friendly URL's. Now if I try to run same site (I have downloaded the exisitng on localhost) on localhost machine it is giving me error URL not found.

I have configured LAMP server on Ubuntu Machine, whats other things I need to check with the LAMP server to get this project run without changing the URL settings?

-- Thanks & Regards, Nikhil Kala
