Easy Permalinks question

Presumably, there’s more to the story… For instance, did you follow the procedure on the Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory page?

Thanks HandySolo for your reply,

yes i did follow the WordPress instructions and it worked perfectly apart from the permalinks.

So WordPress is in a directory called ‘blog’ and when you go to the url it works no worries.

Just can’t seem to change the permalinks, any idea’s?

this is the message i get if i use anything but the default setting:

————————————————–
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.36 Server at https://www.nidhana.com Port 80

If the Permalinks are set to “Default”, do they then work?

If so, check with your host to ensure that the server has mod_rewrite and AllowOverride properly on and enabled before going too crazy!

Hi HandySolo, thanks again for you reply.

Yes Permalinks work in the default mode.

I will ask my webhost. I assume that it’s something you type in the .htaccess file.

This is what my .htaccess file says:

—————————————–
# -FrontPage-

I found some stuff on Google but I have no idea what it’s on about so I’d rather not mess with it. I don’t suppose you know what to type in to get AllowOveride turned on?

Your host will help you with AllowOverride, most likely.

However, I see you have FrontPage extensions… you may want to visit the Permalinks page and do some reading in the FrontPage section.

You are a legend Handysolo! thank you so much ??

I should have noticed that Frontage bit but alas I didn’t,

Thanks ??
