I've already searched on this forum, drupal pages and google but without luck.

Its seems to be very simple but its not!

I want my site-urls look like "example.com/MYWORD/12345" but not "example.com/node/12345". I have tried to change it under "Home › Administer › Site configuration " (admin/settings/site-information) and I got this error :

The path 'MYWORD' is either invalid or you do not have access to it.

How can I make it possible to drupal use MYWORD instead of node.

Thanks for any help!

Enable the path module, which is an optional core module. Then there will be a URL Path Settings field lower in the edit screen (below the body somewhere - mine is just above the Comments field).

The Path Module is already enabled!

No sorry!

I am new to Drupal. I need to find a way to use mysite/MYWORD/123 instead of mysite/node/12345. Under Drupal >> Administer its impossible. What should I do more?

It's not impossible. It can be done manually via Drupal > Administer > Site building > URL aliases, or you can install the Pathauto module to do it automatically for every new node.

I have the exact same problem!

I have activated the 'path' module, where do I find URL Alias?

I've done the following after a bit of exploring:

• Enabled URL aliases for Administrators
• Added 'content' in path aliase, and 'node' in the exsisting system path
• Added 'index' in the path aliase, and 'node/1' in the exsisting system path

Why does only the index one work? Whenever i go to mysite.com/content/3, it says the page cannot be displayed, though when I go to mysite.com/node/3, it shows up fine.

How can I fix this? :(

An alias needs to be made for each page. You can't just create one path and expect it to work for all new content.

That's what the Pathauto module does - it automatically creates aliases for new content items.

Where is the Pathauto module?
