My installation of drupal suddenly insists that all addresses contain ?q= ie when I go to node/55/edit I have to manually add ?q= to the address bar . http://climatecamp.org.uk hat is happening?

You have clean URLS enabled, but mod_rewrite isn't doing its magic. Check the .htaccess file in the webroot.

The only .htaccess I could find was in /files


deny from all

Redirect permanent /drupal-5.7/?q=node/1 http://climatecamp.org.uk/home
order deny,allow

try this, it's works perfectly fine for me since years now:


#Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.climatecamp.org.uk
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://climatecamp.org.uk [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

notice www -> non www redirect, very useful ;-)

cheers

Take the .htaccess file from the Drupal installation folder and put it in your websites folder and click replace. You have to have hidden files enabled for this.

I switched off clean urls and with a bit of tweaking everythings fine. If anyone has a solution , that involves leaving clean urls on, I'd be interested to know

you need to follow prematurebaby's advice and copy the .htaccess file from the drupal tarball (tar.gz) folder into your web root and then you can turn clean url's back on and all will be fine.
I'd also suggest that you upgrade to the latest 5.12 release as 5.7 is not secure.
