Permalinks change breaks all links

  • I am trying to remove the /index.php/ from all my pages. When I go to Settings > Permalinks and set it to the /%postname%/ and hit save it says it all went through but all my pages are broken now.
    I checked that the .htaccess file is there and should have the right info. This is what I have:
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I just continue to get 404 pages. If I manually type in the same page with the index.php in the middle the pages shows up. Am I not waiting long enough time?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    You need to use putty or an ssh client to access the apache files so you need console or server access to do this. If your using a host provider they should have given you instructions on how to do this.

    Thanks, solved it!
