On some servers, the initial installation of Drupal will fail the clean URLs test.

Just giving the server an initial path, "/" in .htaccess solves this problem.

Keywords: .htaccess rule change Drupal clean URLs

 
To be specific...

# Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory and
# the rewrite rules are not working properly.
RewriteBase /

Drupal Clean Url

Hi my friend. I can't understand what you mean by saying
"Just giving the server an initial path, "/" in .htaccess solves this problem."
I set Drupal wwwroot,I mean main directory.But I can not activate clean url.It is grey and I can not click enable. How can I solve this problem?
Thanks.
