First time Yahoo install. Works but …

  • Last night I found a link that provided detailed instructions to setup WordPress on Yahoo hosts.

    https://natespost.com/index.php/install-wordpress-on-yahoo-server/

    Everything is fine until we reached the PERMALINKS where it seems I needed to specify for the blog posts to work/show. In the Permalinks page, if I choose “Month and name” “https://shimworld.com/blog/2008/08/sample-post/” I get “Not Found
    The requested URL https:// was not found on this server.”

    When I specify /index.php/%postname%/ in Custom Structure it works but it shows “https://shimworld.com/blog/index.php/musings” I’m used to WordPress.com blog post formats and I would like to maintain consistency in this regard. Can someone tell me what has gone wrong and how it can be corrected. None of the “Common Settings” Default/Day and Name/Numeric/Month and Name seem to work except the one recommended by the author “/index.php/%postname%/”

    Also, there is one new comment in the one and only post “MUSINGS” and it doesn’t show. It’s an approved comment and I have not received an email notification or see it showed in the post.
