my htaccess file look’s like that:

1.
      # BEGIN WordPress
   2.
      <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   3.
      RewriteEngine On
   4.
      RewriteBase /
   5.
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   6.
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   7.
      RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   8.
      Options +FollowSymlinks
   9.
      </IfModule>
  10.

  11.
      # END WordPress
  12.
