My install says clean urls can not be enabled after 'the clean url test failed'. Documentation doesn't cover this case. What to do. http://drupal.org/node/15365 Thanks Tony
Did you make sure that the .htaccess file that came with the Drupal installation got copied over to your document root? If so, is mod_rewrite enabled on your server?

Make sure Apache is using mod_rewrite.

Yes and the allow overrides directive must also be set appropriately.

"Clean URLs" is done by implementing a rewrite rule that changes the non-domain portion of the URL into a query string. If you don't have mod_rewrite installed, then it can't do that.

These rewrite rules are expressed in the .htaccess file provided with the drupal distribution, which by default is not enabled in the apache server. In your apache configuration file (http.conf or vhost.conf) you need to explicitly allow overrides for the .htaccess file to be loaded. This is done by including and AllowOverride directive in the apache configuration file.
I should also point out that depending on how you extracted and copied your drupal distribution, it's possible that the .htaccess file was not copied to your site at at all. This would also make it so that the clean urls test would fail.
So you need to make sure three things are done.
1. there is in fact a .htaccess file in the your drupal sites main directory. 2. Mod_rewrite is enabled in your apache configuration file. 3. The apache configuration relavent to your drupal install includes an Allowoverride All directive in it.
Hope that helps.
Dave
