Very helpful post.

I wowould also like to add that you also may have to set the "AllowOverride" directive to "all" [around line 224 in the httpd. CONF file] to allow directives in. htaccess to work.

 

Around that line, you can see,

<Directory/>
Options followsymlinks
AllowOverride all
Order deny, allow
Deny from all
Satisfy all
</Directory>

@ Shaunak
Thanks so much. I 've tried everything under the sun, and it didn't work. Your post led me to this in my httpd. conf:

Options followsymlinks
AllowOverride none

Which was overridding every single thing I tried, and I didn't even know it. As soon as I changed none to all, boom, it was working.

After completing the preceding settings, perform the following two steps:

(1) "start "--"Program"--" Apache HTTP Server 2.2.6 "--" control Apache server "--" restart"

 

(2) Open IE browser, pointer to http: // 127.0.0.1/Drupal/

"Administrater" -- "site configure" -- "clean URLs" -- select enable
