Enabling clean URLs (Drupal 7) in .htaccess on Debian

I am having a complicated issue, which I can't figure out. There is a solution to this matter by modifying the 000-default file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled.

The AllOverride line must be left with the following keyword None.

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

Is there any other way to enable clean URLs on a Debian server for Drupal 7?

Not sure how this would be different to normal. Have you done this on other sites before? - SpaceBeers
I had my site running on a different server, with a different version of Apache (Debian), clean URL worked, even without modifying the 000-default file or .htaccess. I tried many .htaccess tweaks, no results though. An effective way to resolve this issue by many users is to modify the 000-default file. Unfortunately, I have no persmission to do that, and the server is hosting many sites so this option is unacceptable. So I'm looking for a different solution. Thanks in advance for your help. - baron
Have you tried just setting the rewrite base? - SpaceBeers
I tried that too, but I made a basic mistake. I just found out that my .htaccess file is being ignored, in other words, it's not even being used. The only way now is to contact the server admin. - baron
Ah ok. If you need help afterwards edit your question. - SpaceBeers

Open your .htaccess file in your project root. Uncomment RewriteBase /drupal and change it to your project name like RewriteBase /myprojectname . Comment RewriteBase / Goto /admin/config/search/clean-urls There will be an option to Enable clean URLs .
