Hi,

Drupal clean urls only works on apache servers. And you have to enable rewrite_module in apache's httpd.conf file.

http://drupal.org/node/15365

Well, on any webserver, with webhosting, has by default, enabled the clean urls.
You have to investigate more what's the wrong with your web site.

Thanks

Hi,

The link that I mention might be confusing you. Let me tell you an easy way that can help you enabling clean urls using .htaccess file.

Open .htaccess file located on root of your drupal directory, then locate this line in this file 

# RewriteBase /

and uncomment this line i.e. just remove the '#' before this line and thats it. Now clean urls must be working on your side.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks

Hello,

Web hosts never allow .htaccess file to influence the service. Otherwise one can specify php Memory upto 256M which is too much.

Thanks

as it said above i altered the rewrite_module in my local apache server by uncommenting it..i found successful wen i run the clean urls test and i did not alter the .htaccess file and left as it is..

but on my server(hosted on hostmonster) they dont give me provision to access their apache server.so i hv to try with .htaccess file..

i tried uncommenting the seperately Rewritebase / and Rewritebase /drupal but could not..
i tried also by uncommenting both and uploaded to my server. but could get clean urls..

any ideas.. pls

I was having problems getting Clean URLs to work with Drupal (installed automatically by SimpleScripts) on HostMonster until I noticed that what I thought was .htaccess was actually htaccess.txt. I simply changed the filename to .htacess and Clean URLs started working for me.
