Homepage only working – missing .htaccess file

  • I have just uploaded several blog sites to my dedicated virtual server. I am only getting the homepage to work and no links or sub-pages work on the site. I have got in touch with MediaTemple support (my hosting) and they have told me I am missing the .htaccess file which is not in the httpdocs directory nor in the wp-admin directory.

    Can someone please let me know what I would need to do to create a .htaccess file so the wordpress site will work. Can I just use a template that someone already has or does a unique one have to be created for my particular server?

    Also, can the same .htaccess file be used for all other wordpress sites that are hosted on my (dv) server?

    I look for any suggestions and help anyone can give me as I have spent days on this and am not sure how to go about this issue.

    regards,
    evo33.

    Thanks for that iridiax, I managed to update the .htaccess file with just this command:

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

    Now I am getting all the pages and links working on the site, however, I am still unable to get any of the images to work which is weird? All the images are not been displayed – can anyone mention what code would need to be inserted for all the images to display?

    check the permission of wp-content/upload folder
