Hi all,

I'm trying to enable clean URLs in Drupal 4.74. running on Redhat Linux Fedora 6 & Apache version 2.2.3. I'm pretty sure I have enabled mod_rewrite for Apache. I have Drupal installed right at the Apache root, e.g., /var/www/html, so I don't think I should mess with RewriteBase. I have the default Drupal .htaccess installed there, as well.

What else should I be checking?

TIA

I take it FC6 run apache2?

look for a section in your apache2.conf that has Directory tags and just add another section:

<Directory /var/www/drupal_website_install>
AllowOverride all
</Directory>

then restart apache. something like,
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Thanks; that did the trick, if only to alert me that I had AllowOverride set to none for that directory.
