Clean URL's

I'm also having problems but I may be able to point you in the right direction.

Your .htaccess file, I believe, needs to be in the root directory of your installation (www.example.com/drupal/.htaccess), together with your Drupal files of course. If your FTP program missed uploading the file (which is normally hidden by default in many FTP programs), upload it now. I have installed 10+ D6 sites and this is my first problem but the .htaccess file appears in the root directory of every site install I have, without exception.

There appears to be a number of places the .htaccess file needs editing.

1.

Look for this section in your .htaccess file (towards the bottom in my D6.12 version):

# Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory or in a
# VirtualDocumentRoot and the rewrite rules are not working properly.
# For example if your site is at http://example.com/drupal uncomment and
# modify the following line:
RewriteBase /yourdrupalsite

2.
Look for this section in your .htaccess file (rock bottom in my D6.12 version) and replace 'yourdrupaldirectory' with your sub directory name:

# Rewrite URLs of the form 'x' to the form 'index.php?q=x'.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /yourdrupaldirectory/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

Now, this isn't working for me but I mention this because these appear to be the instructions found at http://drupal.org/node/15365

Good luck.
