How to have clean URLs in Drupal

[rohitsinha54]

Hello,
Yesterday i installed a Drupal website on my web space.

I want to configure it for clean urls the setting in administer panelis disabled.

The handbook manual says you have to create a .htaccess file.

Please tell me what contents i should write in that file to have clean URLs?

Enable display of hidden file in your cPanel file manager and delete any .htaccess present there.Rename local.htaccess in root folder of drupal installation to .htaccess and tell us if this works.If not then post the content of .htaccess here.

 

[rohitsinha54]

There is a .htaccess file which is blank and there is no local.htaccess file present in my drupal installation

Note: I did not used the script installer of cpanel because it was not giving me the latest drupal. I downloaded the zip file from drupal website and uploaded it to server and extracted it there and did the installation.

That's good you didn't used script installer in cpanel and it has nothing to do this with this issue.All you need to do is to enable mod_rewrite.To do that put this in your .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
</IfModule>

This .htaccess file have multiple options that you can use
http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/drupal/.htaccess?view=markup
Also this documentation will help you for sure

dude this thing is also not working please help me out

First look here http://status.x10hosting.com/post/662312354/http-changes
then look at your drupal .htaccess

  # Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory or in a
  # VirtualDocumentRoot and the rewrite rules are not working properly.
  # For example if your site is at http://example.com/drupal uncomment and
  # modify the following line:
  # RewriteBase /drupal
  #
  # If your site is running in a VirtualDocumentRoot at http://example.com/,
  # uncomment the following line:
  # RewriteBase /
