LinuxQuestions.org - Drupal Apache Config problem

Hi,

Setup apache at home along with drupal but something is wrong. It loads the index file ok, but instead of having links to http://localhost/~user/index.php?blah it just has links to http://localhost/?blah. I'm testing it on the home machine so I know how to set it up properly on the hosting.

Basically, I'm completely miffed. A search pointed to .htaccess but I tried that advice and it failed.

Each user has their own files in /home/user/public_html which maps to localhost/~user.

Using

Apache 2
Drupal 4.5.3 - necessary due to intended hosting.
MySql 4.1

running on (K)ubuntu.

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Code:

# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.

# Changed extensively for the Debian package by Daniel Stone <daniel@sfarc.net>

# and also by Thom May <thom@debian.org>.



# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's

# configuration, error, and log files are kept.

#

# NOTE!  If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)

# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation

# (available at <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#lockfile>);

# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.



ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"



# The LockFile directive sets the path to the lockfile used when Apache

# is compiled with either USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT or

# USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT. This directive should normally be left at

# its default value. The main reason for changing it is if the logs

# directory is NFS mounted, since the lockfile MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL

# DISK. The PID of the main server process is automatically appended to

# the filename. 



LockFile /var/lock/apache2/accept.lock



# PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process

# identification number when it starts.



PidFile /var/run/apache2.pid



# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.



Timeout 300



# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than

# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.



KeepAlive On



# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow

# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.

# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.



MaxKeepAliveRequests 100



# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the

# same client on the same connection.



KeepAliveTimeout 15

# Set up the default error docs.

# Customizable error responses come in three flavors:

# 1) plain text 2) local redirects 3) external redirects

#

# Some examples:

#ErrorDocument 500 "The server made a boo boo."

#ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html

#ErrorDocument 404 "/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl"

#ErrorDocument 402 http://www.example.com/subscription_info.html

#



#

# Putting this all together, we can Internationalize error responses.

#

# We use Alias to redirect any /error/HTTP_<error>.html.var response to

# our collection of by-error message multi-language collections.  We use 

# includes to substitute the appropriate text.

#

# You can modify the messages' appearance without changing any of the

# default HTTP_<error>.html.var files by adding the line;

#

#  Alias /error/include/ "/your/include/path/"

#

# which allows you to create your own set of files by starting with the

# /usr/local/apache2/error/include/ files and

# copying them to /your/include/path/, even on a per-VirtualHost basis.
