Giving drupal a shot to attempt to set up a CMS site that can have a Flex UI. The Flex showcase site is running on drupal with an amazing Flex UI. Not trying to copy them but if they are using drupal, i thought why don’t i try it myself. WordPress can be a potential candidate for a CMS but it is still quite limited in becoming a powerful CMS like drupal. It is still a blogging engine. Let’s hang on when WordPress 2.5 is released in the next couple of days.
Ok, back to my topic. Drupal install was pretty smooth but i didnt like it when my url has stuff like ?q=admin/blah blah. Most of us will go to mod_rewrite and create the .htaccess file if our web server support. Here’s the .htaccess i got for my drupal after setting up mod_rewrite on my apache server.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /~<Your username on your Mac>/drupal
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
