oh.. heck.. maybe it is 236 bytes.
installed in domain root.
what should the file look like?

Ugh.. ooookay leaving the computer right now for awhile I’ll get on that this afternoon. Could if have something to do with permissions? chmod?

esmi,

okay, could it be a theme related issue? I notice you are the Theme Diva,

Now what?

I just got this error which i’ve gotten once before but there is some indication of apache activity..
Not Found

The requested URL /2011/01/kayak-anglers-new-fishing-paddle/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache mod_fcgid/2.3.6 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at beclecto.com Port 80

.htaccess is created when I delete it. when i look at htaccess with notepad all it says is:
# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress
it is 236K in size.

Yes.. Host gator said that mod_rewrite is enabled by default on all of their servers. The tech also checked to be sure when i called.

Wow.. I thought that was going to work.. wordpress created the new .htaccess file and with great anticipation I clicked on one of my articles.. a few actually, still getting 404 error arghhhhhhh!
tried it again.. it will only accept the permalinks in the default mode.

Thank you all so much for helping.. Any other suggestions?

ummmmm for what though? what am i looking for?

OH and i just updated to 3.1.1 in hopes that that may fix the permalink issue.. but it did not…

Just spoke with my host..Host gator. Apache mod rewrite is enabled. and he checked my htaccess file. Still getting the 404 errors when month and date is selected. Default settings work BUT The urgency has now escalated as i’ve lost 1000 percent of my traffic due to this.. HostGator did say that it could be an conflict with server settings BUT… He wasn’t sure what it could be and recommended i post again on this forum for more help and perhaps a specific recommendation.

thanks for any help you can give!

I haven’t changed any server settings and … not sure where that is.. i’m logged into cpanel right now.. looking for it

Just month and post:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

thanks! it works with default settings but not when i change it back

Helppppp meeeeee…

No reply? sure could use some help. now i’m thinking that what.. its a thorny issue with my server set up that no one wants to tackle? Or maybe something skewed in the code of my theme? Would really appreciate someone at least speculating what it could be, someone with knowledge adn power. lol
thanks
