[users@httpd] Geting rid of the ? in the URL
Hi all!
I am a total newbie to apache. Have recently installed Apache 2.2, mySql and Drupal on winxp and everything seems to be working fine However I cannot figure out a way of getting rid of the ? in the url so like instead of http://localhost/drupal/?q=manufacturer I would like http://localhost/drupal/manufacturer
I have tried to read and follow all the clean url instructions that I could fine online but nothing seems to be working. Pls help!
Thanks

This must ofcourse be
AllowOverride All

If you have access to your httpd.conf it is better to put the rewrite
rules in there. The drupal people definitely advise that (and this is
how I did it). The docs have the details.
Furthermore you need to make sure that you've set your drupal install
itself to generate "friendly URLs". You can test if your rewrite rules
work by requesting a page yourself.
For example, you can log in as admin to your site and then enter the
following in your browser's adres bar.
http://<yoursite>/drupal/admin
(This asumes that /drupal is the base url of your drupal install.). It
you get the admin site then your rewrite work, and your problem is
that Drupal isn't generating nice URLs.

ok here's what I have done so far
1. In httpd.conf
I uncommented the following line:
a.) LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
b.) set the AllowOverwrite to ALL
2. In the .htaccess file I have :
a.) Set the rewritebase to /drupal
b.) Set the RewriteEngine to On
c.) uncommented the following code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$/ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
I hope this helps. What am I missing or doing wrong?
Thanks.

Unless you tell us what changes you made to your apache config we
won't be able to tell you what you did wrong.

I have already read and followed these drupal instructions but it still does'nt work. I do not know if this will help but even the clean url radio button is grayed out in the clean url configuration page. The clean url test however fails. Please help... I am running out of options now.
