    When I try to update the permalinks structure I can’t access the entire site anymore (I get a permission denied 403 error on anything in the wordpress directory). The only way I can get the site back up is to delete the .htaccess file.

  • Are the permissions on your .htaccess file correct? It has to be writeable by WP.

    chmod 666 .htaccess

    I have a Windows server host and wordpress is able to write the .htaccess file. I think I have fixed this problem (FINALLY!). I had tried adding

    AllowOverride all

    in my http.conf (specifically for the blog directory).

    That seems to have caused the 403 problem. I removed that section of the http.conf file and made added to my root directory

    AllowOverride all

    (previously AllowOverride None).

    So it STILL didn’t work, I got 404 errors when using permalinks. I thought since I was using Apache on windows that I could use mod_rewrite. Anyway, I gave up and got it working with /index.php/ in my permalink structure.

    Any idea why it doesn’t work with Apache 2 on Windows?

    for me it worked when I added
    Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    on top of the .htaccess
