Problems adding .htaccess file

  • So I want to use the pretty permalinks on my website I did a test page with the default permalinks and the page was created fine I move on to create my custom permalinks setup and create test page 2 The page then comes up with

    Not Found
    The requested document was not found on this server.

    I then discover that I don’t have a .htaccess file on the ftp so I created a blank 2.htaccess.php file which i upload on my ftp and I then changed the name of the file to .htaccess which and I check the premissions is 644

    then I went to my home page and came up with

    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
    Please contact the server administrator to inform of the time the error occurred and of anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
    I then deleted the file and the site return to the home page

    can anyone help with resolving this problem thanks

  • follow these steps:

    1) set the permission of the file to 755
    2) Go to settings ->permalink and save the structure again (make sure it is not warning you about file permissions)

    3) Check if your URL’s work

    4) Change the permissions back to 644
