[development] Clean urls openSUSE 11.0 Drupal 6.8

[rsw-ml at silverarc.biz]

Hello everyone,

Thanks for the prompt response. i tried writing this: RewriteBase /
and also commenting out the entire line. But nothing helped!
Its still the same. Somethings telling me that I am doing a very silly and
a very obvious mistake somewhere.. But what !?!?!?!?

And can you please throw some light on:
>> Try adding FollowSymLinks to Options directive and commenting out
>> RewriteBase from .htaccess.

Thanks a million again!
