permalinks don’t work

  • I am struggling with getting custom permalinks to work on the new server running Ubuntu 9.10, + LAMP (rewritng mod is enabled).
    wordpress running in root of the site and

    cat .htaccess

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

# END WordPress

    not sure how to troubleshoot it. please suggest something, thanks

  • is cat .htaccess actually in your .htaccess file?

    no ??

    In my case, I get the same problem. If I dare to use fancy permalinks, I get a 404 error. If I use the default, everything runs smoothly, except that since I have moved the blog from “wordpress.com”, some of my relative links are broken, since they used permalinks.

    In any event, since discussions about this seem to be related to .htaccess, I have a problem with that too. In my admin area, I get an error saying that “Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public”, and telling me to move the .htaccess folder from wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager to wp-content/backup-db. Funny thing is, there is no such file called .htaccess under wp-dbmanager. And yes it is a UNIX (freeBSD) system, and yes, I remembered to list the files using “ls -a”. No luck.

    I have a .htaccess file in the top-level directory (one level above my blog on my webhost) which is used for the website generally. Do I need a seapate .htaccess file for my blog subdomain, and what should it contain?
