hi there,

I just setup my drupal new incl. mysql.
I DID NOT TOUCH MY SERVER (not possible because shared host...)

In my fist installation, the clean urls worked.
But now the "check clean urls" test on the administer==>setting fails.

The only thing I have changed is that I'm now using 4.7.4 (the old system used 4.7.3).

any ideas?

Just a guess - did you lose the .htaccess file when you upgraded?

YOU ARE THE HERO OF MY DAY !!!

You are right, i deleted everything on my server-folder last week.
By reinstalling Drupal, it did not setup a htaccess-file.
Is it supposed to do or was this my fault?

One more question: I find two more htaccess files:
One in my Files-folder, one in my temp.

Is this o.k.?
I'm asking, because i have some problems with uploading MP3 (open base dir- problem).
(I had not this problem before with my 4.7.3)
Could this have something to do with it?

.htaccess files are not installed with Drupal - just instructions on the site as to how they need to be set up - as it should be, IMHO -- as they alter the behavior of the server.

I'm not sure what you meant by in your temp - What OS is this? If you're talking about /tmp or C:\TEMP, then no, it doesn't matter. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by Files folder - do you mean your root directory of Drupal, or the files directory off the root?

However, I think the uploading problem would be due to permission problems in the files directory off Drupal. If you've reinstalled Drupal from scratch, but haven't altered the permissions for this directory and you're running under Linux, than this is most certainly your problem.
