Hi all,
I can't make Drupal Clean URLs work under Apache 2-0-48. I get HTTP 500 if I use .htaccess (where I'm using clause.
I suspect something is wrong with mod_rewrite.
Could please someone send me an example of a working .htaccess under Apache 2, just to compare with mine ?? How can I check if rewrite support is configured well with my ISP ??
Thanks to all for your kind help

Matteo

I'm successfully running clean urls and Apache2 on Windows. Apache2 requires you change the .htaccess from the default. This was my only change:

# Overload PHP variables:
#<IfModule mod_php4.c>
<IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
   # If you are using Apache 2, you have to use <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
   # instead of <IfModule mod_php4.c>.
   php_value register_globals        0
   etc...

Thanks, but what about mod_rewrite support; do you have to change any other part of .htaccess because of mod_rewrite ??
I cannot see Apache log, so I'm wondering what's goin on...

The above was my only change to .htaccess. Is mod_rewrite listed as loaded if you do:

print_r(apache_get_modules());

I had this problem also, just comment the first commands of htaccess (that who prevent eyes (including you) and the symlinks.

When I installed Drupal I got the 500 error, then I changed some value in .htaccess (look the post below Options in .htaccess, http://drupal.org/node/view/8538 ). Do you use Aruba ?
Ciao, Aress

I made the same modification commentig some options, now it works but the question of the other post remains: can these changes create problems with some modules?
With aruba are there also other problems: php is installed as CGI and not as module so all the stuff that follows "# Overload PHP variables: " is useless IMHO. And there aren't other ways to change these parameters but it's better to ask on aruba forum.

P.S. to access to log with aruba write http://yourdomain/login

[quote]And there aren't other ways to change these parameters[/quote].

There is a way: instead of .htaccess you can use write php options in a file called php.ini:

register_globals = 0
track_vars = 1
short_open_tag = 1
magic_quotes_gpc = 0
magic_quotes_runtime = 0
magic_quotes_sybase = 0
arg_separator.output = "&"
session.cache_expire = 200000
session.gc_maxlifetime = 200000
session.cookie_lifetime = 2000000
session.auto_start = 0
session.save_handler = user
session.cache_limiter = none
allow_call_time_pass_reference = On

Cheers, Mike

now aruba gives a very handy "PHP.INI file customization - Select the PHP.INI which betters suits the applications to set in your own web space." page [http://webx143.aruba.it/CP/index.php?ak=phpini_override] where you can select a Drupal customisation php.ini . Cool!
