I generally don't post on forums to ask questions until I've searched and experimented on something and still can't get it to work. So here we go . . .
The Problem
I can't seem to get clean urls to work in Drupal 4.7
The Setup
I'm using virtual dedicated servers hosted by Godaddy and I have drupal setup in a subdirectory.
What I've tried
I've been all through the forums and tried all kinds of configuration but they either break the site or simply have no effect.
The httpd.conf
rewrite_mod is enabled. Though it appears that on this server setup there is no mod_rewrite.c If I try and stick that in the .conf file the site breaks.
<Directory "/var/www/vhosts/example.com">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Above is the path that leads the the virtual hosting for the site I want.
The .htaccess file
I'm using the base .htaccess file that comes with drupal and have only changed the Rewrite section at the bottom. Here's what I have.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /demo
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
Since there is no mod_rewrite.c I have the IfModule for it commented out
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)
