You need to turn on Clean URLs.

Clean URLs can be turned on in the administration under Clean URLs in the Site Configuration section.

Basically, the question ?q= are appearing because you haven't enabled clean urls.

if your server can support clean urls, then you can enable them from right inside administration.

Good Luck,

Jon.

One problem is arising. How can I configure my apache to make it rewrite so that I can run the "Clean Url"

I am using mysql and a localhost in my PC

Enable the mod_rewrite apache module:

In http.conf uncomment the line (i.e. remove the # sign) and restart apache:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
