Enabling clean URLs (Drupal 7)

Question

I just installed and started using Drupal 7, and I followed the instructions to turn on Clean Urls. I clicked "Run the Clean URL test" button, but it failed to return any results. It loads up something and then refreshes the page. There is no option to enable clean url as said in the instructions. Can somebody help ?

Solution 1

Open your .htaccess file in your project root. Uncomment RewriteBase /drupal and change it to your project name like RewriteBase /myprojectname . Comment RewriteBase / Goto /admin/config/search/clean-urls There will be an option to Enable clean URLs .

Solution 2

For Ubuntu Server 13.04
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default

If there is no such file, try this one: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
Change (line 7 and line 11), "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All".
Save and exit.

Restart Apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

If you are working with apache version 2.4 add below code in /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf file.

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>
