Getting clean URLs working under Windows running Apache2
Submitted by Karthik on 11 May, 2005 - 12:13.Just a quick note on getting clean URLs working under windows:
- Open your httpd.conf file
- run a find for mod_rewrite, and you will end up with something like:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.soRemove the # from the above statement.
- Run a search for "<Directory". You will come across the default directory config for Apache, followed by an example config.
- Add the following below both of the above directory config blocks:
<Directory "D:/programs/apache2/Apache2/htdocs/drupal"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All RewriteEngine On </Directory>Supplant "D:/programs/apache2/Apache2/htdocs/drupal" with the path to your Drupal installation.
- Save file and restart Apache
That should get Clean URLs working :)

This was the easiest how-to I found on how to to this, Thanks
No apache server access
Is there a way to do this without access to the apache server httpd.config file?
It depends on how your host
It depends on how your host is configured. On some setups, they allow you to store a separate httpd.conf file that is loaded by the root file.. I suggest you contact your host. Impressing on them the necessity of such provisions in running CMS-es like Drupal generally forces them to be a little pliable.
Best of luck :)

Doesn't Work
I can't get this to work for me. I get the error message "Multiple arguments not (yet) supported." How doI make this work?
Not sure, never heard of
Not sure, never heard of that error. Please check with your host or #apache on freenode.
Best of luck :)

It works great in Windows. But don't forget you still need the included .htaccess file in your Drupal directory or it won't work.

Thanks Karthik
Great information, easy to follow and works a treat.
If anyone is running several drupal code bases from a single Apache installation (I am running 4.7, 5.x and 6.x) then you can just add a separate entry for each code base folder.
