In attempting to resolve my issue, I have read just about every relevant post on clean url's that I can find, but I'm still stuck...
I am using drupal 4.4.2 on a shared host and clean url's works fine.
However, I still have an installation on my pc, which I want to use for development purposes,
I would really like to use clean url's on this local installation of drupal, so that I can occassionally import the mysqldump from the net hosted installation.
This local instal runs on
Apache 2..039
PHP 4.2.2
I have modified httpd.conf to include
allow overide All
and even included that setting with the default directory (which I'm not sure about)
And I've modified .htaccess to include
IfModule sapi_apache2.c
rather than
IfModule mod_php4.c
which I'm also not sure about, but I've tried both combinations to no different effect
And of course, I've changed my rewrite base to /drupal
With clean url's on the following happens:
Say I select Admin / Configuration, I get a dialogue box offering me to
open "system" which is a: application /x-httpd-php
from http://localhost/drupal/admin
which suggests a fundamental problem within the httpd conf file?
Can anyone explain what else is missing in this local setup that might be causing me to fail.
