Permalinks problem

  • After I set my permalink to Day and time, it pops up a message on the top of the screen.

    “Permalink structure updated. Remove write access on web.config file now!”

    “By default WordPress uses web URLs which have question marks and lots of numbers in them; however, WordPress offers you the ability to create a custom URL structure for your permalinks and archives. This can improve the aesthetics, usability, and forward-compatibility of your links. A number of tags are available, and here are some examples to get you started.”

    Then after I reloaded the page, it returns an error page of “500 Internal Server error” “There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.”

    Does anyone know what happen and can you tell me why?

    Please advise if there is another way to set up the permalink in a nicer format by using plugin? You can get back to me at [Email ID removed]. Many thanks.

    Cheers

    Andy

    Hey Andy,

    I had some issues with this in the past and it seems as if you are running on a IIS Server (Windows Server). It seems to be the equivalent of not being able to write to a .htaccess file on a LAMP Stack.

    I would call my hosting company and ask about write permissions.
