Permalink Issue

  • Hello,

    I just recently launched a site and made sure to disable permalinks before uploading. The site comes up fine but when I go to enable permalinks I get a ‘400 Bad Error Request’.

    The .htaccess file was blank and I even change CHMOD to 777 to see if it was a write error and that didn’t help. I even pasted in code to make URL’s rewritable and got the same error.

    Is there anything that I am missing?

    Thank you

  • Do you have the mod_rewrite module enabled on your server? If not, you’ll probably need to contact your host to get that set up.

    dkotter,

    Thanks for the response. I just checked and it is enabled.

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks

    What did you set the permalinks to?

    %postname%

    Just a guess here but if PHP is operating in safe mode might that be a cause?

    %postname%

    Did you literally add this in the custom permalink structure window?

    if so you are missing the slashes.

    and your custom permalink structure should start with a numeric Tag

    Examples:

    /%post_id%/%postname%/

    or

    /%year%/%postname%/

    I’ve added the slashes before and after so sorry for any confusion. I am using a permalink structure for the pages, not posts, on this site as the owner does not intend to operate a blog.

    Thank you

    Well looking around at what other people found out who have experienced this 400 error problem when attempting update permalinks was >>> the majority of them needed to contact their Hosts to have the Host change something in httpd.conf or some other Virtual Server-side file.

    I’m in the process of doing that.

    I just went through and selected different permalink options and when saved all returned that error.

    Thanks AITpro!
