Pleasanton Web Design

I have never really understood why web applications, like Drupal, that have the capability of producing search engine friendly (SEF) URLs don’t have them enabled by default. Who doesn’t like SEF Urls?

To Enable SEF URLs in Drupal 6, follow these steps:

1. enable mod rewrite – this can be done through .htaccess or httpd.conf
2. from admin: enable site building>modules>paths
3. enable site configuration>clean urls
4. create aliases site building > url aliases > add aliases

You have to add aliases manually using this process. Perhaps Drupal has, or will have a module that is more automatic in the future. We can only hope (but not hold our breaths)!
