Now this is weird. My host just confirmed that mod_rewrite is enabled and should work just fine. What am I doing wrong? I tried chmod’ing the .htaccess to 666 without results.

Apache 2.o, if I’m not mistaken.

I’m that close to switching hosts. Any recommendations?

At the moment, I run the database seperate on a different host. This may be a stupid question, but which of them needs to support AllowOverride and mod-rewrite?

Hm. Is there a way of testing whether AllowOverride is enabled? I don’t know too much about it.

Making the index.php part of the URI should be the last resort.

edit:
Does anybody know of any free providers of MySQL databases everything I need for WordPress to run smoothly?
I only need the database, since my own provider (which costs around $100 a year) doesn’t properly provide that.

I’m so sick of this.

Thanks.

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

# END WordPress

This is it.

The same thing is happening as soon as I want to change my About page, by the way.
This is getting nasty.

It should appear in the root directory of your blog.
Make sure your FTP client is set to ‘show all files’.

I just deleted the .htaccess file and the blog is back up.
(Without the permalink changes, obviously.)

What does that mean? What should a .htaccess file for the desired format look like? Can’t I just create one myself?

Thanks guys, I will try it out tonight.
Truly appreciate your help.

That’s the one. The server is running Apache & Linux.

Thanks.

WP 2.0.2.
I meant to say one of the given options (that would change it into the format I mentioned above).

Nope, the standard option.
