Drupal: How to enable Clean Urls Module

1. Edit apache configuration
   ee /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf
   
   and set
   AllowOverride All
   
   
2. Make sure
   LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
   
   is enable.
   
   
3. Edit .htaccess file and change
   
   # RewriteBase /
   to
   RewriteBase /
   
   
4. Restart Server
   
   

Another way

If you have locked yourself out, visit http://example.com/?q=user just like you do to re-enable offline sites. You can log in there, enough to become admin, although none of the navigation will work yet.

Next, enter http://example.com/?q=admin/settings/clean-urls (in DRUPAL 5 and 6) to view the page where you can unset clean URLs.
Your interface will be usable again.

Other options that should get the same result include:

• Run the drush commands:
  
  drush vset clean_url 1 --yes


• Run the mysql commands:
  
  UPDATE variable SET value = 's:1:"0";' WHERE name = 'clean_url';
DELETE FROM cache;


• Alternatively, you can modify the appropriate settings.php file to include the line
  $conf['clean_url'] = 0;
  at the bottom (or similar code in the site settings array you'll see there).
