I recently upgraded apache from 2.2 to 2.4.6 and php to 5.5 on ubuntu 12.04 and clean urls arent working anymore (the ?q=node does work though).

I googled and found links asking me to "AllowOverRide all" which i had already done, and some posts suggested changing the lines in .htaccess from "Order allow,deny" to "Require all granted" or "Require all denied", which also i did.

But still Clean URLS are not working.

Any help is appreciated.

You should make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled in your server configuration. It is vital when you are using SEF URLs

mod_rewrite is already enabled.

Clean URLS were working before the upgrade.

I dont know what else to change.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanx

You probably need 'Order allow,deny' as well as 'Allow from all'

Here's what I use:

  <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName $site.local.com
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /home/sam/www/$site/docroot
    <Directory /home/sam/www/$site/docroot>
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
      AllowOverride All 
      Order allow,deny
      allow from all
    </Directory>
    #ErrorLog /home/sam/www/$site/error.log
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
    LogLevel notice
    CustomLog /access.log combined
  </VirtualHost>

See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html for the changes between Apache 2.2 and 2.4

2.2 configuration:

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

2.4 configuration:

Require all granted

Add to default host config (000-default.conf) these lines:

<Directory /var/www/>
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
	AllowOverride All
	Order allow,deny
	allow from all
</Directory>

I had to setup my virtual directory differently:

<Directory /var/www>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        Require all granted
        #LogLevel Debug
	AllowOverride All
</Directory>

## Note: The above code is fictitious. Any resemblance to real or actual working code is purely coincidental.

I had made the required changed in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, namely incorporating AllowOverride All and Require all granted in section.

My first problem was the drupal folder not loading at all and giving a 404 error on localhost/. My mistake was the place my folder on /var/www instead of /var/www/html. As the DocumentRoot in apache 2.4.7 is /var/www/html, the drupal folder needs to go into the html folder.

Now Drupal was loading, but clean urls were not working. Was solved by the guidance in this post, namely by including the following in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

<Directory /var/www/html>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    Require all granted
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Now clean urls are working.

Here you have an excellent HOWTO on configuring Apache 2.4 and php-fpm

https://xdeb.org/node/1613

Just tested tried it, with PHP 7.0 and it works just perfect with clean URLs.
