Hello everyone: I had a new Drupal setup for a resume/professional page almost ready to go, had content ready, took two days to set up a gallery, had URL aliases ready, etc. Then I decided to do the Clean URLs thing. I followed the advice seen here for htaccess changes, then put them in the subdirectory where I installed Drupal. Unfortunately, while I was able to switch to Clean URLs, I now don't see anything when those Clean URLs are clicked. In other words, nothing is there! My content does not show up!!! Nothing does!
I'm working on a site that I developed some time ago.
Another developer worked on the site while it was out of my hands.
I moved the site back to my machine, and I've had a few problems.
The first problem was that the settings.php file had the Base URL uncommented, and was in use. The theme and the CSS and all of the visual stuff wouldn't load. That's fixed now. Now sites/all/themes/theme/etc. loads fine.
I'm used to installing Drupal on Linux machines, but I have a project that requires Windows. Fortunately, for me, Apache, MySQL and PHP complete the technology stack. Though I'm not sure of their versions or how they were installed (this information is forthcoming).
