I've already enabled mod-rewrite with 

sudo a2enmod rewrite

I've added my Drupal7 install to the apache config file located in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default (note: Is this the correct config file to edit?)

<Directory "/var/www/myDrupal">
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Then I restarted Apache2 with

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Yet it still fails the Clean URL test in Drupal. I've been banging my head against the keyboard for far too long. Anyone have any other suggestions?

If you have it residing in a "myDrupal" folder off the root, then it is in a sub directory. You need to edit .htaccess, and uncomment "RewriteBase /" on line 110.

Just change

# RewriteBase /

to

RewriteBase

Then Flush your Drupal Cache and try again.

    Thanks for the tip: this was exactly the point on _Ubuntu 13.10 Server 64bit_ after I've installed **drupal7** package and enabled the _mod-rewrite_ on Apache2. This must be flagged as the correct answer by the way. – Julian Xhokaxhiu Mar 19 '14 at 14:56

If your .htaccess looks good, and the apache config file is set correctly with AllowOverride All, try navigating to clean-urls configuration page by yourSite.com/admin/config/search/clean-urls and enable it! Clean URL's test sometimes fails even though your server is properly configured to rewrite.

Good luck!

You need to enable mod_rewrite. You'll have to cause the following to happen during instance createion:

a2enmod rewrite

service apache2 restart

Enabling clean urls for Ubuntu 14.04

(1) Run the command a2enmod rewrite on your ubuntu (Command Line Interface) CLI to make sure rewrites are installed.

(2) vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

a. Under all the AllowOverride All

(3) In the .htaccess file under /var/www/ if that is your place of drupal installation make sure the Rewritebase / is uncommented and correct. If your drupal installation is **Rewritebase /var/www/drupa**l, then change it to that.

(4) Run command service apache2 restart on your ubuntu CLI and you should be good. * Optional - make sure your root

~Good Luck
