Permalink help

    I have followed the extremely poor documentation on permalinks and still cannot get this working, if someone could please help that would be great.

    I created a blank file, called .htaccess, and placed it in my document root folder. (/var/www/html)

    I am assuming that is the right place for it since there is no documentation that tells me where this file belongs or what to put inside of it.

    I gave the file read/write permissions and then I enabled permalinks in WP. I got the message “Permalink Structure Updated” but when I navigate through my pages they are not coming up. All blank except the main home page.

    Can someone please help me get past this? Thank you in advance.

  • WordPress’s index.php and .htaccess files should be together in the directory indicated by the Site address (URL) setting on your General Options page.

    from https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Using_Permalinks

    Check with your hosts that mod_rewrite is running on your server.

    Kmessinger- There is a file called index.php in html folder where I placed .htaccess (var/www/html).That is wordpress folder for my site, everything is in html.

    Esmi- I am the host, lol, mod_rewrite is not commented out in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf so I am assuming it’s running. Is there a way to test this?

    Thank you!

    If your wp-config.php file is in that folder, then that’s where your .htaccess file should also be.

    Ok, the file is in the right place.. Can anybody tell me why it’s not working??

    This is the contents of my .htaccess file..

    #BEGIN WordPress

    #END WordPress

    Thanks!

    The rewrite rules aren’t being added. when you switch from one custom permalink structure to another and update the permalinks, do you see a message about the .htaccess file not being writeable?

    Nope, I can switch between the permalink structures and it says “permalink structure updated” every time.

    Fixed.

    Changed allowoverride to all in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

    Thanks for the help!

    Cheers
