    Hi, i’m trying to set up the permalinks option for a blog in a goddady hosting accoun (linux).

    I’ve read all the topics here looking for similar issue but i can’t find the solution.

    When i active the Permalinks options, the server shows a 404 page not found. this is my .httaccess in the subdomain:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    # END WordPress

    any idea ?

    mmmm
    the solution:

    Put the .httacces WordPress code in the domain root .httacces

    On Godaddy or secureserver linux hosting accounts, before messing with .htaccess try this:

    Go to the Customize Permalink Structure page. Where it says “Custom, specify below” put in the following:
    /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    thanks for this solution – it totally worked for me.

    before this, i had stuck index.php in there, and that seemed to work, too.

    so, i did some more poking around, and after looking at the .htaccess file that GoDaddy generated for me, I tried a few other things out, and found out that it’s not even necessary to include the ‘/archives’ in there.

    so, i thought you still needed to at least use the ‘Customize’ button, but when i just went back into the admin panel, the ‘Date and name based’ option was selected instead of the ‘Custom’!

    weird. all is working at the moment, but we’ll see what happens when i post something new.

    and, i’m not using subdomains yet, like the previous user.
