htaccess not working in 2.01 !!

  • I have installed a completely fresh version of WordPress 2.01 and I just cannot get permalinks / .htaccess to work correctly. The type of problem I am having makes me think it is a bug in the wordpress codebase, but I could be wrong. Let me describe:

    If I go to the Options > Permalinks tab without having an .htaccess file already in place and try to update my permalinks structure, I get the message saying “You should update your .htaccess now.” –> that’s all well and good except that *THERE IS NO TEXT at the bottom of the page for me to copy into an .htaccess file !!*

    If I create an .htaccess file, put it into the correct directory and chmod it to 777, and then update the permalink structure from within wordpress, it tells me that “Permalink structure updated” — BUT IN REALITY THE HTACCESS FILE IS NOT MODIFIED AT ALL and permalinks do not work

    This is very frustrating, since I can’t seem to find anyone else reporting this same bug !! Am I missing something here?? What could be causing this sort of behavior???

  • Unfortunately this is about the end of my knowledge of htaccess, the fact that you run your own server suggests that you are way ahead of me in all-things apache!

    Good luck though, I wish I could be of more help! Please be sure to post any solutions you come up with!

    Cheers,

    If none of the above steps are working, and you feel comfortable manually editing your apache configuration file, you may need to ensure the the AllowOverride directive is not set to “None”. If this directive is “None”, then the .htaccess file is ignored.
