Permalinks not working, please help

  • Hello,

    I have the following problem with my WP2.7 blog:

    When I choose Setting – Permalink and set Common settings to anything but default (say Day and Time), save changes and then preview my blog, clicking on title of any published article gives an error:

    Not Found

    The requested URL /2009/03/16/seo-fundamentals-off-page-optimisation/ was not found on this server.

    The same problem occurs with any posts published after activation of “Time and Date” (or any other non-default) permalink setting.

    If you know what could cause the problem, please let me know how I can fix it?

    Thank you

  • Check Using_Permalinks for trouble-shooting tips.

    In particular, make sure that the .htaccess file is being created/updated when you change the Permalink settings.

    Yes, .htaccess does exist and it’s updated from empty one:

    # BEGIN WordPress

    # END WordPress

    to this one:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    when I switch from default permalink setting to “Time and date” option.

    Is that the way you expect it to change?

    Thanks

    The problem is still not solved. ??

    From the link I gave you earlier, what other troubleshooting tips have you tried?

    Can we assume you’re on a Linux host? If so, you might confirm with your host that mod_rewrite and AllowOverride are both on and enabled.

    Chris_K,

    The problem solved.
    the mod_rewrite was not enabled.

    Thanks for your help! :-)))

    Glad to hear it ??
