i deleted the .htaccess and nothing changed…
so i cant use permalinks… or have people leave comments… thats not cool

no but i will try to delete it

here is my file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php/category/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp-feed.php?category_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^index.php/category/?(.*) /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^index.php/author/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp-feed.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^index.php/author/?(.*) /index.php?author_name=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^index.php/([0-9]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php?p=$1&page=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^index.php/([0-9]+)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp-feed.php?p=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^index.php/([0-9]+)/trackback/?$ /wp-trackback.php?p=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wp-feed.php?feed=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^comments/feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wp-feed.php?feed=$1&withcomments=1 [QSA]

i read that and they have mentioned apache… but i dont know what to do with https://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#accessfilename
i have no access to my stuff other than via ftp…

i got this message from my server company:
“It’s a windows server and you can’t use .htaccess
You have full permission at your webspace”

so now what do i do for permalinks?
i tried using index.php but i get the error that says: no input file…
please help..

i also noticed that i can not set the permission to 666, but its set at 777 is that a problem?
please help
i created the file as a text file, then uploaded and changed its name… why wont it work
thanks

i did the text thing and now when i click any permalinks to a archive i get the following error:
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

do i need to make the folders myself for the archives?
and i created a .htaccess file by just pasteing the info given to me… is that it?
