htaccess and Clean URLs
Allright, I am so confused. INSTALL.txt says:
"If you want support for clean URLs, you'll need mod_rewrite and the ability to use local .htaccess files. (More information can be found in the Drupal handbook on drupal.org.)"
So, I go looking at the handbook in the only spot that I can find any information about Clean URLs, Handbook->Administrator's Guide->Configuration->Initial Configuration->Clean URLs, and this is what it says:
"... By enabling clean URLs, you will be able to get rid of the "?q=" in the URL and make it "clean." Note that this works only for Apache servers which have mod_rewrite installed. Talk to your web host or consult the Apache documentation for more information."
All I'm looking for is a sample mod_rewrite ruleset that support clean URLs. Everywhere I look it says to look somewhere else. 'Bout to pull my hair out here.
Thanks.

already present in .htaccess
The rules that allow clean urls are already present in the .htaccess file distributed with Drupal. Assuming that you are running on an Apache host with mod_rewrite installed (probably likely) all that is needed to enable clean urls is to change the setting on your admin page: http://example.com/?q=admin/settings.
You may need to edit the .htaccess file if running Drupal in a subdirectory. See the comments in .htaccess for details.

clean url option disabled
i just added mod-rewrite to apache config and restarted apache... it loaded ok.
in drupal (cvs), i go to admin/settings and the option to enable clean urls is disabled (cant select option). I edited htaccess to allow for modrewrite... I am in a subdir on this particular installation, and edited htaccess accordingly.
why is the setting disabled for me?
thanks
Avoid breaking
If the setting is disabled, it means there is something wrong with the Clean URL set up, and enabling the option would cause your site to break. You'd need to do db changes to get back in.

If you have a problem, please search before posting a question.
ah, a safety measure added
ah, a safety measure added in cvs.. I been through that detour before....
so, though i setup drupal before I setup the apache mod rewrite.... how do I get drupal to understand its ok now? The module is loaded.
maybe there is a relation...
maybe there is a relation... because I also get this error printed whenever I go into settings.
warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: host/servname not known in path/includes/common.inc on line 230.
warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to projects.ultrastar.com:80 in path/includes/common.inc on line 230.
i think its firewall related....
..site to break
I had that problem....the setting was disabled, so I put it to enabled. Fuck!, mi site is break. It was a true problem.
Still Doesn't Work
OK, I found the .htaccess. It still doesn't work tho. For some reason brining up / brought back a page not found and accessing any pages brought the pages back as if all stylesheets and images were broken. Looks like mod_rewrite is rewriting for all files and ignoring the !-f and !-d rewrite conditions. Anyone have this problem? Temporarly I set my rules to:
RewriteCond /path/to/my/doc/root%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
It seems like the {REQUEST_FILE} env var that is used in the default drupal .htaccess is not being created in my Apache. Here's the options that I configured my 1.3.33 Apache with:
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a \
--disable-module=negotiation --disable-module=actions --disable-module=autoindex \
--disable-module=userdir --disable-module=imap --disable-module=asis \
--enable-module=rewrite
I modified .htaccess and httpd.conf
Here's how I got clean URLs to work :
First, modify .htaccess. Uncomment RewriteBase and to point to my subdirectory :
# Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory and the
# rewrite rules are not working properly:
RewriteBase /drupal452
Second, uncomment rewrite_module in Apache2 httpd.conf
# Feb 2005 - uncomment rewrite_module to allow Drupal clean URLs
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Restart Apache to reread httpd.conf, and now things are OK.

http://luhman.org
Don't forget AllowOverride All!
I was having this problem also, but by adding:
AllowOverride All [in httpd.conf, search for .htaccess]
I got it working.
A better example.
This confused the living daylights out of me, eventually someone told it to me straight, which is how it should be - edit your httpd.conf/apache.conf file and in your vhost section, add the following directive:
<Directory /var/www/htdocs/hosts/somesite.com>AllowOverride All
</Directory>
that's all there is to it.
That works
After two days of searching, finally it works.
Thanks for that post icybyte

htaccess file comments
I'm installing/modifying a new Drupal site via Mac OS X. The system hides .htaccess files, so I can't see it on the dl'ed Drupal tarball.
Can someone post a copy of the code the htaccess file contains. I then will find it easy to paste this code into a txt file marked 'htaccess', upload to my root dir, then add the '.' to make it '.htaccess' on the server.
Many thanks

htaccess not recommended
Apache advises here that you avoid enabling .htaccess unless you must.
My alternative was to create a drupal.conf file and put it in my conf.d directory (the typical place where you put extra configuration files to avoid polluting httpd.conf so that upgrades work, etc.) My drupal.conf file has this in it:
<Directory "/www/drupal">
Include /www/drupal/.htaccess
</Directory>
This avoids the issues Apache mentions. And now I can upgrade both Apache and Drupal with no downside.
I'm not sure what I've done
I'm not sure what I've done here, but it's managed to get the SEF urls workings.
Basically I stripped the htaccess file down to five lines
RewriteEngine onRewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
The error 500 server error stopped and SEF urls are working. The original htacces was:

I've know idea what all those lines do, but I appear to be able to get the web site working with clean URLs wihtout it. I hope this helps someone because I've been banging my head against a wall with it all day.
Backslash
I found that this problem was fixed if I added a backslash before index.php?q=$1 right before the close tag.
ModRewrite is enabled by
ModRewrite is enabled by default on the server I'm using. However, I'm unsure as to how to get it working with Drupal's .htaccess file. Here's a link to my service provider's info page
Modifying Apache Webserver configuration?
When I place the unmodified Drupal .htaccess file into my root folder, the administer -> settings -> general settings -> 'Run the clean URL test' does not work, and I get an 'Error 404: File not found' message. So... how do I get this working? What do I need to change in the .htaccess file? I've bee fiddling about with this for a few hours now, and I'm not getting anywhere.
[edit]
Fixed! I used the above code and it now works fine:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

same problem with 1and1. Thanks for this solution!
Thanks a lot vidmarc. You've made my day. I was struggeling with this for a few hours now and all I got from 1and1 was this undecipherable comment:
They are just useless but thanks for your solution.
iPowerweb does the same thing
Just a heads up to anyone else using iPowerweb hosting, the same trick of commenting out the
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>line makes clean urls work perfectly.edit: actually, that's the fix suggested by your host, not the one you did. Works like a charm though. Just comment out that one line, and *poof* it works.
1and1
I also use 1and1, running Drupal in a subdirectory. I just uncommented the RewriteBase line in .htaccess and Clean URLs seems to be working now.
Thank you!
This worked for me on 1&1 when all other recommendations failed.
Thanks to Kaelon for his post.
Undoubtedly saved me additional hours of frustration.
Any idea why this works?
for me, this does not work
for me, this does not work on 1und1 (germany).
i am very unhappy about that...
I have two drupal-sites running, being placed into the folder CMS of the basedirectory "www.basedir.de/CMS".
the additional site could be reached by "subdir.basedir.de"
I tried
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /CMS
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
and every single possibility where to put another "/" - nothing helped.
got it. this
got it.
this helps:
#RewriteBase /CMS
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /CMS/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
lets now try the second site with "subdir.basedir.de"...
wish me good luck!
That's what did it for me.
That's what did it for me. I'm using 1&1 and had drupal in a subdir. So I was trying to access:
http://www.example.com/Drupal-5.16/admin/settings/clean-urls
But in only worked when I modified the standard* .htaccess with:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /Drupal-5.16/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
*(note: I also needed the "AddType x-mapp-php5 .php" fix to install drupal)

1and1 Still Doesn't Work
I've gone through every version of a solution for 1and1 hosting accounts and nothing has worked. I've even tried placing the .htaccess file in the root of my hosted space without any luck. I even tried coping and pasting some of the above .htaccess solutions without success.
I'm wondering if the fact that I'm using a subdomain could be causing me problems. So my domain name goes like this:
subdomain.domain.com
The subdomain URL is being directed to a subdirectory in my hosted space at 1and1. When trying the above solutions I started getting 404 errors, but before I made any changes I was getting 500 errors.
Anyone have any ideas?

1and1 Fix
Hi,
I'm setting up a Drupal site for a client on their 1and1 account and had exactly the same problem.
After spending half an hour on the phone to their tech support I found a solution that worked for me.
Simply change the following line:
RewriteEngine on
to:
RewriteEngine ON
Changing the word 'ON' to uppercase seemed to do the trick. I've no idea why, but clean URL's are now working!
Hope this helps,
Joff

I am having the same
I am having the same problem, for some reason mod_rewrite is not handling the URL's correctly.
The following is the HTML for importing the style sheets:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="sites/all/themes/themname/assets/css/content-vertical.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /><link rel="stylesheet" href="sites/all/themes/themname/assets/css/sub-content.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="sites/all/themes/themname/assets/css/print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="sites/all/themes/themname/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
I have the web developer plugin enabled and it looks like it is appending the current part of the site to where the CSS files are at, for example:
http://www.domain.com/admin/settings/sites/all/themes/themename/style.css.
Anyone have any ideas?
Anyone have a .htaccess file
Anyone have a .htaccess file fix to enable clean urls on bluehost..?

have you got the answer yet?
Jon,
Did you ever get this to work?

If you have not found the answer yet and I find it I will contact you with it.

Hi There,
Thanks for the reply to my comment, no one really seems to care about blue-host people :'(
I must of spent countless hours going through practically every post there was out there, never did get any of them to work.
Finally I was so exhausted, and had gone past the launch date of my client's websites trying to solve the problem, I just gave up. If an answer to this is ever found, I'll finally be able to get courtenaystory.com & bostondanceco.com running on clean URLS!!
Anyhow, a little while ago a user "erjiang fu" contacted me by email, he was also looking for a fix to bluehost clean URLS. I believe he is also still looking.
Keep our fingers crossed, and please do let me know if you ever find an answer.

My host thinks I really don't need this exta code and suggests using the standard .htaccess code sans the extra code below. I have no idea how the code got there. Please help.

My clean urls problem has been solved
I am Erjiang Fu the one Aran mentioned and had the same problem of enabling clean urls for Bluehost web hosting.
I have just solved my problem today.
In fact, I meant that I have just identified where the problem resulted from.
For me, it was the matter of the understanding of drupal root directory.
I installed my drupal in a subdir, e.g. /public_html/abc
My problems were (maybe problems of Bluehost hosting service):
1. The .htaccess should in the drupal root folder '/public_html/abc' not '/public_html'
2. Then the RewriteBase subdir should be '/' not '/abc' as I thought
My solution:
So my .htaccess file in 'abc' folder has the lines below:
____________________
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
____________________
Conclusion:
1. .htaccess should be in drupal root folder (where you installed your drupal, not the /public_html.
2. the RewriteBase should be '/' because the .htaccess is already in the drupal root folder.
Am I clear here?
Hi Aran, Let me know if you still can not work this out.
Problem with 1and1 clean urls for subfolder
Hi everyone:
I'm still having problems with -clean urls- with 1and1 for a subfolder
the code that I'm trying is
____________________________________
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
____________________________________
I've tried it with this variations too:
1) RewriteEngine on
2) RewriteBase /subfolder
3) RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
____________________________________
I've also tried putting the .htaccess file directly on the subfolder but didn't work either.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
