Permalink change yields: Not Found, The requested URL /wprb/about/ was not found
-
I hope that I can get some help…
It started when I tried to install BuddyPress, it stated that it required a change to the permalink. To make a long story short…
I reinstalled WP and changed the permalink to Month and Name. After which the initial page displays, but the About page and the Hello World post yield the ‘Not Found’ error.
Ferreting through everything I could find, I turned on mod_rewrite in Apache, and checked the .htaccess (which is successfully being written when I press Save Changes as is evidenced by the files time stamp). I found that no matter which permalink setting I choose (except default), the content is the same:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wprb/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wprb/index.php [L]
</IfModule># END WordPress
If I switch back to the default pernmalink everything is fine again.
In case it matters, I am running on an Ubuntu test server on my local network and wprb is a subdirectory of the main site.
TIA for the assistance!
