    I’m trying to make a test site and I changed the permalinks to the post names. At first, it caused a 500 error, so I had to download a new web.config file. Now I got another problem. Now all my pages are causing 404 errors. How do I fix this?

    Have you tried flushing the permalink. Go to Settings->Permalinks and click save changes which flushes your permalink.

    I tried again and it gave me a 500 error so I needed to redownload a new web.config file. Then after changing the web.config file, I get 404 errors.

    We have done the same thing today on a live site? How do you download the new config file -and do the flush? Is there anyway of re adopting the original URL? Thanks

    Anything I can do besides delete and start over?

    Any other ideas before I start over?

    Another thing that might help out is that I’m running a second WP installation in a sub folder on my domain which I’m using for testing. Could that be the cause?
