Earlier I wrote about how to enable Clean URLs on a Drupal installation on a shared hosting service, such as my own provider, InMotion Hosting. Now that I have setup my LAMP Stack on my own Ubuntu machine, I also want to enable Clean URLs for Drupal installations on localhost.

One of the main reasons that I have been working so hard to learn Linux is so that I can begin to learn how to effectively develop websites with Drupal. On top of Linux, all I need is Apache, MySQL, and PHP installed, and voila! A LAMP Stack that functions as a normal web server, allowing me to test web programming from the comfort and privacy of my own computer.

In order to enable clean URLs in Drupal, your Apache server needs to be configured with the mod_rewrite module enabled. If you have access to your own LAMP server, then you need to make sure that you have that module enabled. I plan on writing about how I have been able to do that on my localhost LAMP server, but for right now I want to explain how to do this on a shared hosting service, such as InMotion Hosting, which is my hosting service.
