I've setup Drupal on my localhost and am now trying to enable clean URLs by following these instructions: http://drupal.org/node/134439
But it's not working...
The rewrite module is enabled:
~$ a2enmod rewrite
Module rewrite already enabled
I've added the following code to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
<Directory /var/www/drupal>
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
What am I doing wrong?

Do you have Drupal's
Do you have Drupal's .htaccess file in the root directory of your site?
No, it seems I don't...
No, it seems I don't... (mustn't have copied it properly...)
I added it from a new download and everything's working again. Thanks nevets!
I had the same problem last
I had the same problem last night:
http://www.kobashicomputing.com/enabling-drupal-clean-urls
Looking at your directory, I assume you installed Drupal in /var/www/drupal
Your website, call it "foobar.com" is in /var/www
Your .htaccess is in /var/www
Based on that assumption your httpd.conf should be:
Set RewriteBase
Even though this is an old thread, i thought this might be helpful for someone. I had the same problem today and wasn't able to fix it with the above solutions. In some other threads i read that mod_rewrite has to be active. I made sure it was, but it still didn't work.
For the record here is how i got it working on my Mac (should be similar on any System).
I got my Drupal installation under
/Users/myUsername/Sites/drupal/
which Apache serves athttp://localhost/~myUsername/drupal/
.It seems that the user and folder names were the problem here.
After fumbling around with
.htaccess
(within the Drupal folder) for a while i found out that all works perfectly when i add this line:RewriteBase /~myUsername/drupal/
.After this i could activate Clean URLs without any error messages.
excellent. i enable that on
excellent. i enable that on the .htaccess files within my localhost installs & i got clear url option. thanks!
