Setting permalinks doesn’t work

    My WP v2.1 is installed at https://asmindo.cartool.info/blog/, blog is also at this direcory. Other settings are as follows:
    – create a blank .htaccess at <b>https://asmindo.cartool.info/blog/.htaccess</b&gt;
    – CHMOD this .htaccess to 777
    – CHMOD /blog/ directory also to 777

    When trying to setting permalinks, the followings happened:
    – Select “Date and name based” and click “Update Permalink Structure”
    – It then said “Permalink structure updated.”
    – But, nothing happened to the .htaccess file; it remains blank
    – Also, no display of recommended .htacess entries
    – All articles remain in WP’s default ugly URLs
    – When tried the “Custom Structure” option, the text area for it refused me to type any enties into it (doesn’t accept any input into it!)

    Last attempt was changing the .htaccess with the following entries:

    
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

    Still, permalinks doesn’t work at all.

    Did I do anything wrong?
    Do I need a permalink plugin for making it works?
    Any suggestions will be higly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    – CHMOD /blog/ directory also to 777

    Change that back to 755 as soon as possible, before somebody hacks your blog! You’ll never need that!

    Ask you host if the mod_rewrite and Allow Override is enabled on the server. If not, the “nice” permalinks don’t work.

    Thanks, moshu; I did already.

    As with mod_rewrite and Allow Override features:
    under the same domain (at root and at other directories as well), I have several .htaccess that work well for URL rewriting purposes. For example, their entries contains:

    
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^index.html$ Books/Keywords-search-Mailing+List+Guide-salesrank-1.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-search-(.*)-(.*)-(.*).html index.php?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=$1&$2=$3&Sort=$4&ItemPage=$5 [QSA,L]

    Doesn’t this explain that mod_rewrite and Allow Override is enabled on my server?
    PS: I have a multi domain account on the server and, .htaccess rewrite rule works on all domains and subdomains.
    Pls advise me if I’m wrong :-).

    PS: I can’t add tags to this posting, don’t know why.

    Additional info on the problem, perhaps these mean something?:
    – After selecting 3rd option “Date and name based”, clicking “Update Permalink Structure”, and “Permalink structure updated”, the selected button always back to the Default option.
    – I use WP v2.1 package that is available in the hosting package, and installed using Fantastico.
    – The same problem also happens when I installed WP v2.1 on another hosting service (different server!).

    Guys, please help.

    Problem resolved already. It is just because I use an old Opera version, it can’t process javascript correctly.
