Thanks for any other tips you can provide. ??

@moshu

Thanks for replying. I checked, and I am not even seeing a section called “Loaded Modules” on my phpinfo results page. There is a section called “Additional Modules,” but that only lists sysvsem and sysvshm, nothing else.

I will try to pester my hosting provider again… That seems like my only remaining option. All suggestions welcome!

@moshu

Thanks for that info. It’s very interesting to see all that data. Unfortunately, there is no mention at all of mod_rewrite and AllowOverrides (either enabled or disabled) in the results I see.

This is really getting frustrating. It seems like if these permalinks are an option, I should just be able to select that option and they should display the right way, with WordPress making whatever necessary changes behind the scenes for me. I am not sure why this is getting so hard and requires so much backend stuff that I just don’t understand enough to troubleshoot effectively.

Is there a resource where I can find a programmer to pay to assist me in getting this working? It seems like this would just take a few minutes for someone who actually understands all this server stuff.

Does “supported” mean the same as mod_rewrite on and AllowOverrides enabled for your directory?

My hosting provider is not getting back to me on this. They are very rigid about offering any kind of help with outside software, so I am not surprised. (Might be time to move my hosting…)

Is there some way I can check into this myself? I am willing to try to learn UNIX commands, but I do not know where to start…

When I uploaded a blank .htaccess file to my server to undo any bad changes I may have made, WordPress was able to write to it with the code I included above. Wouldn’t this indicate that my mod_rewrite abilities are working correctly?

Lots of troubleshooting at the Permalinks page in the Codex.

I have been over and over this page, it was the first place I tried for help, but so far, I have not had any luck with any of the information there.

Does “supported” mean the same as mod_rewrite on and AllowOverrides enabled for your directory?

I will contact my hosting provider to check on this. Thanks.

I asked before I installed, and my hosting provider told me my account supported the mod_rewrite Apache module.
