Drupal on localhost links do not work

Posted by LarsK on February 4, 2013 at 2:26pm

Hi all,

I've copied a website to my localhost map and running Wamp server. The problem is that the links don't work properly.
But when I add ?q= before the link it works well..

So this does not work:

localhost/sitename/contact (I go back to localhost main page).

This works:

localhost/sitename/?q=contact

How can I make this work properly without manually editing the url?

Thanks

That means that clean urls are not configured on the localhost. If using apache, you need to enable modrewrite. Not sure what the equivalent is for IIS these days.
