pretty permalink issue

  • Hi All,

    I hope someone can help. I’m having trouble getting my pretty links to work in wp.

    I’m running apache (2.0.63) & php (5.2.13) on a windows XP pro PC at the mo whilst I develop the site.

    All my posts are within:
    category/category/post

    for example:
    section/sub section/post name

    So I’ve set my custom structure as:
    /%category%/%postname%/

    Mod rewrite is enabled. Within localhost, I’m running my install within the wordpress dir:
    https://localhost/wordpress/

    My .htaccess file is as follows;

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

    I can see the links have changed, however, when I click the link I get a HTTP 404 Not Found page.

    Where the heck am I going wrong?

    Many thanks in advanced

    Which said:

    I found a solution to this problem. mod_rewrite should be enabled in apache configuration but that isn’t enough if php and apache are install separately

    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be “All”, “None”, or any combination of the keywords:
    # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride None

    should be changed with:

    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be “All”, “None”, or any combination of the keywords:
    # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride All

    and don’t forget to restart apache!

    Spoke too soon. Having fixed the post links, the pages now won’t work as it’s looking for the cat/sub cat/ page id

    Is this a tweak to the .htaccess file?
