Enabling Drupal Clean Urls Feature On Mac OS X Lion
Posted by Tobias Mueller
If you want to run Drupal on localhost on Mac OS X Lion with the clean url feature enabled you have to edit the 'httpd.conf' file located under '/etc/apache2'.
1.) BACKUP THE ORIGINAL httpd.conf !!!
2.) Go to the '/etc/apache2/' folder
3.) Open the httpd.conf file with the editor of your choice with administrative rights e.g. sudo mate /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
4.) Locate the <Directory /> directive and change 'AllowOverride none' to 'AllowOverride All'.
5.) Locate the <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents"> directive and change 'AllowOverride none' to 'AllowOverride All'.
6.) Restart the web server
