Yes! It would be nice if drupal gave me a little more information about just what fails. It sends you off to http://staging.example.com/drupal/admin/settings/clean-urls
where you see a "404: Not Found" error. All my logs say is that I tried to reach a page that didn't exist (er, and that the page was http://staging.example.com/drupal/admin/settings/clean-urls which, indeed, does not exist)
I did read through http://drupal.org/node/15365
I did set the rewrite base.
Changing the Apache <directory> directive to "AllowOverride All" does work, but I'd like to limit the change to the drupal directory, which I haven't been able to do.
15 <Directory /srv/apache2/staging/drupal/> 16 AllowOverride All 17 </Directory>
Doesn't get me anywhere.
Adding a rewrite base to the directory setting doesn't help anything:
15 <Directory /srv/apache2/staging/drupal/> 16 AllowOverride All 17 RewriteEngine On 18 RewriteBase /drupal 19 </Directory>
I don't know any more tricks, myself. I'm not sure how to interpret the rewrite rule suggested on drupal.org ...
<Directory /var/www/example.com> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA] </Directory>
I realize that this is an Apache question at this point, but it requires just enough knowledge of Drupal that I sort of need help here. If anyone has any insights or fortitude with Apache configuration, I'd like to resolve this.
Thanks, Amanda

Currently, the "clean url" test just fails.
It'd be kind if it would tell you why now wouldn't it? I've never had one fail. Have you looked at the php and server log files? Perhaps the watchdog table gives a clue? Do you need to set the RewriteBase?

Is mod_rewrite enabled?
This is usually all it takes, and mod_rewrite can generally be enabled by uncommenting one line in your httpd.conf file, and then restarting apache.
See http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=apache+enable+mod_rewrite for more details --
If you can access your apache settings and enable mod_rewrite, then you shouldn't need to mess around with any rewrite base details.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Bill

You didn't say what the error_log for apache said. Nor the log for php.

What happens if you try to access the non-clean url version, i.e.: http://staging.example.com/drupal/?q=admin/settings/clean-urls
