PermaLinks — display problem

  • Hello: i’ve been trying to configure permalinks using

    Date and name based
    ? https://www.mydomain.com/2006/09/20/sample-post/

    but struggled to get it to work. I coppied the following:

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

    into my .htaccess file, but it didn’t seem to work. every time i click on the link, the browser displays the correct URL in date format (ex: the URL shows https://www.mydomain.com/2006/09/20/hello-world/), but it does not display the content. here’s the message:

    Not Found
    The requested URL /2006/09/20/hello-world/ was not found on this server.

    what do i need to do to get it to work? please advise. thanks in advance for the insights.

  • 1. Read and see the troubleshooting section!

    2. Check with your host if mod_rewrite is enabled (actually, this should be the first ??
    3. Just to have a htaccess file is NOT enough. Did you go into your admin panel > Options > Permalinks?

    moshu:
    1. thanks for the link!
    2. mod_rewrite is enabled as i checked my httpd.conf file and the line “LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so” is uncommented.
    3. i have configured the Permalinks in Options. that’s how i was able to add the following:

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

    into .htaccess file

    am I missing anything here? thanks for the help.

    Now check AllowOverride and make sure it’s enabled.

    it’s working now… i had the extra www in my <Directory> path

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mypath
    <Directory “/var/www/html/mypath/www
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

    DocumentRoot and <Directory> paths must be the same… the extra www in <Directory> caused Permalinks not to work. deleting www is the solution to my problem! ??

    thanks for the insights everyone!
