I need help to see if the database on my site can generate the pages and still have clean urls. Right now it is working but does not have clean urls. It is probably set into drupal in the wrong fashion. I am looking to learn what is wrong as well as the correct way to do this.

I would also like to learn if there is a module or additional programming that will let me dynamically set the meta tags for title, description etc.

I've seen what I need done accomplished on websites not using a CMS, but I don't know how to go about this within drupal.

These things are keeping me from going live so I'm motivated to get this done a.s.a.p.

For meta tags, use the nodewords module.

Have you been to the "Troubleshooting FAQs," "Setting up Clean URLs" page yet? And, these forums are littered with problems (and hopefully solutions) related to clean urls. Lots of moving parts, and they all have to be lined up just right, enough so that you should be explicit to what kind of problems you may be encountering before anyone can help.

Good luck!

The database isn't what generates the clean URL, it is the server. The easiest way is to make a file, call it phpinfo.php and in it have:

<?php
print phpinfo();
?>

upload that file to your server and visit it. Then look at that page after it loads and make sure that Apache has the rewrite module enabled. If it is enabled and you are still getting problems then you may need to start looking at your .htaccess file.

I will follow your suggestion - are you saying that in essence this issue is no different on drupal than it would be on a non-drupal site?
