I setup drupal locally. I browse each page but the url comes like "http://localhost/drupal/?q=admin/modules...". What I want is to remove "?q=" from the query string. Can I use the Url aliasing for this purpose?

Go to admin/settings on your site (http://localhost/admin/settings), Open there the "General settings". At the end there is a "Run Clean URLs Test". Run this and if it is successful you are able to enable the "Clean URLs".

If you are running Apache, you need mod_rewrite to be enabled.

Just to add to Thomas's post, the .conf entry you're looking for (Apache 2.2.x anyway) is:

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Just remove the #

You need to enable clean URL's under administer>>settings. You may or may not be able to do this depending on the web server you are using locally.

Every time I try to run the Clean URLs test, it refreshes the page and nothing runs. Any help?
