none of my links work

here is my file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php/category/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp-feed.php?category_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^index.php/category/?(.*) /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^index.php/author/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp-feed.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^index.php/author/?(.*) /index.php?author_name=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^index.php/([0-9]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php?p=$1&page=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^index.php/([0-9]+)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp-feed.php?p=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^index.php/([0-9]+)/trackback/?$ /wp-trackback.php?p=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wp-feed.php?feed=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^comments/feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wp-feed.php?feed=$1&withcomments=1 [QSA]

In that case, you probably can’t use permalinks. Using /index.php/ is not a guaranteed solution, only a work-around. Just one thing to check on, did you delete the .htaccess file after creating the permalinks with /index.php/?

no but i will try to delete it

i deleted the .htaccess and nothing changed…
so i cant use permalinks… or have people leave comments… thats not cool

Lots of good hosts out there who can help you run the site the way you want…

Permalinks have nothing to do with comments. To get everything back to the way it was, just delete your permalink value at Options/Permalinks and save the settings. Also, NM is right (again). There are plenty of hosts out there who offer great features, at great prices (and one-click WordPress installations). Also, Apache servers (those that support mod_rewrite) are often less expensive than Windows servers. https://www.dreamhost.com is one such host.

I may be wrong, but I don’t think Windows web servers utilize .htaccess. So you’ll likely have to take the advice above and move your site. Or just use the non-prettified links.
