Drupal 7 Clean URLs

[#1]

Does anyone know if it's possible to get Drupal 7 "Clean URLs" working on the PlusNet ccgi site?

I haven't installed Drupal but I'd expect clean URLs to work with appropriate .htaccess settings. What failure are you getting?

I'm getting "The clean URL test failed" and "Clean URLs cannot be enabled" when using Drupal 7's built-in Clean URL compatibility test option. The .htaccess is as provided by the D7 installation. I've tried adding Options -MultiViews but that doesn't seem to help. I tried introducing a syntax error and got a 500 internal error so I know the .htaccess file is being processed.

Found it - I needed to uncomment "RewriteBase /" in the .htaccess file. The test passes now, so I'll have a go at enabling it.

Well done.
Based on guidance documentation it seems that is a common requirement.

Yes, I spotted it in the blurb eventually. I'm new to Drupal and not exactly a whizz with Apache (and especially mod_rewrite!) so there's a bit of a learning curve. Interesting stuff though.
