My Drupal site wasn't letting me use clean url's

 So..

Edit the Directory block in /etc/apache2/users/the_user.conf  you need to add FollowSymlinks to Options and change AllowOverride to All

<Directory "/Users/<the_user>/Sites/">
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymlinks
    AllowOverride all
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

restart apache:

prompt# apachectl restart

Go back to Administer -> Site Config  -> Clean URL's and check enabled..

 

This option makes Drupal emit "clean" URLs (i.e. without ?q= in the URL).
 

Good to go.
