Permalinks fail

  • Hi,
    Firstly … yes, I’ve already done a search. I’m having issues configuring my permalinks. I’ve tried the following structure:
    /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
    followed by the mod_rewrite rules generated for me in an .htaccess file at my root level (with no carriage returns before or after the rules) CHMOD’ed to 644. I end up with a 403 error. Not even index.php is seen by the server.
    When I use the “secondary” method (that is, changing the structure to: /index.php/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/)
    the result is an Internal Server Error.
    The only method that produces valid permalinks and keeps the site in working order is the default method (where nothing is changed in Options>Permalinks).
    This is my second WP install. My previous install had me using the first method mentioned above for my permalinks and there was no problem. So, what gives?
    Any ideas on how I can get the “clean” structure working?

  • does your isp allow “mod_rewrite” on your server? if not – it’ll never work.

    I had the same problem until I changed:
    /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ to
    /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%.htm

    Hi, Gregor!
    Yep, RewriteBase is the path to your blog root (I think It’ll work without it too).
    The love.php file can be anything, I just happened to have a file called that. You can use any file that you have or creates – the interesting part is to see that the link is rewritten.
    Phpinfo
    <?php
    phpinfo();
    ?>
    will show more interesting stuff than an empty file.

    The WP options state
    >In general for this you must use mod_rewrite, however if you put a filename at the beginning WordPress will >attempt to use that to pass the arguments, for example:
    >/index.php/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
    >If you use this option you can ignore the mod_rewrite rules.
    however i cant get this to work, any clue?
