[Plugin: WP Super Cache] Mod Rewrite Rules for .htaccess file

    I just installed WP-Super Cache and was directed to the WP Super Cache Manager page. Looks like I need to turn it on, so I did. As I read down the page I see this instruction:

    Mod Rewrite Rules
    Mod Rewrite rules cannot be updated!

    You must have BEGIN and END markers in /myserverlocation/html/pilates/.htaccess for the auto update to work. They look like this and surround the main WordPress mod_rewrite rules:

    `# BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    # END WordPress`

    Refresh this page when you have updated your .htaccess file.

    I am a Mac user. I use Fetch and Dreamweaver (CS4) and TextWrangler. I used to be able to see my .htaccess files in my ftp client. Not seeing them now. Wondering if it is there or if I just can’t see it. I’m hesitant to create a new one just incase the file is already there. I think it would be ideal if I could grab it with TextWrangler edit it and replace it.

    How can I find this file and add the edits recommended? I want to confirm whether it exists or not to ensure I don’t unwittingly overwrite one that may already be there. Thanks.

    I will answer my own question:

    I am hosting with GoDaddy and called them to see if that file existed and they said it didn’t. I also found a post in this forum that said to do something to the Settings>Permalinks in WP. The post wasn’t specific. But what I did was change the Permalinks settings while I had a FTP client window open. As I saved that permalink setting, I saw a .htaccess file created in my directory.

    Once that happened I thought I still might need to edit the file but nope. Just returned to the WP Super Cache Manager page and saw that the message had changed. I needed to click the button to update and it all turned a lovely shade of green.

    Now I must move on to all the other settings I don’t understand. But that’s another search in this forum and a possible post. Good luck to you all.

    i installed super cache Plugin but show this Warning
    And Not working this plugin

    “Permlink Structure Error

    A custom url or permalink structure is required for this plugin to work correctly. Please go to the Permalinks Options Page to configure your permalinks.

    Mod rewrite may not be installed!

    It appears that mod_rewrite is not installed. Sometimes this check isn’t 100% reliable, especially if you are not using Apache. Please verify that the mod_rewrite module is loaded. It is required for serving Super Cache static files. You will still be able to use half-on mode.
    Warning! F:\vhosts\netwebsite.in\httpdocs\wordpress/wp-content is writeable!

    You should change the permissions on F:\vhosts\netwebsite.in\httpdocs\wordpress/wp-content and make it more restrictive. Use your ftp client, or the following command to fix things:chmod 755 F:\vhosts\netwebsite.in\httpdocs\wordpress/wp-content/“

    watch is mod_rewrite
    plz help me

    Use Google to find out what you need as it’s widely available online, and actually read the error message. The permalinks page is a WordPress options page.
