Thanks Sander. The .httaccess file already exists in /httpdocs. I tried assigning write access to this file (both group and other), but I still have the same issue - the enable will not stick. I'll have to contact support and see if .htaccess is supported.

Thanks again,

Troy

try creating your own .htaccess file in /htdocs and make sure it has write access and then enable it - drupal should then rewrite that file wiht the required information. If there already is one, then just make sure it is writeable. If not, ask the host's support whether using .htaccess files is supported - it may not be and that's required for clean urls (as well as mod_rewrite being enabled).

Hi,

I'm setting up a drupal site on a server that looks like it's a shared host (vhost). Instead of having /var/www/ for my directories, I have /httdocs . I do not have access to the .httpd.conf file for any apache files. The user interface on this server is Plesk, which I'm still getting use to.

I set up my database, and installed drupal, but I can't get clean urls activated. Clear urls does pass the test, but when I click on the enable button, the selection jumps back to disable, therefore, I cannot save the enable clean url settings. What recommendations do you have?

Thanks,

Troy
