*sighs* Permalinks

  • OK, i could not get permalinks working in WP 2.0. So, i searched www.remarpro.com and found someone that upgraded to WP 2.01 and then immediately activated permalinks and he got it working (without the /index.php being shown in the browser). So, i upgraded to WP 2.01 and tried permalinks, no workie (/index.php is always shown=works). I use apache2 with php4 and mysql4. I have read conflicting posts where WP 2.0 does not use mod_rewrite? I run tghis linux box myself and have full access to it. I also have a .htaccess file (that is writeable) and adding the *begin wordpress jargon to it does not work. I would like my link format like this: https://www.domain.here/contact and /faq and so on. The index.php always shows and if i change it to what i want, i get a 404 error. Can anyone help?

  • Oh – and, anything of interested being generated in your apache error logs? (mine are at /var/log/httpd, but not sure where yours would be).

    Well, at a total loss now. Tried everything on the link to the codex you posted (again)->still broke. No errors in the apache log that stand out. Tried 1 other thing as that was to add different rewrite rules (manually) and this did not work either. Confused!

    so, do ANY rewrite rules in .htaccess work?

    Maybe try and put one like this at your top level directory:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^blogx/*$ /blog/ [R=301,L]

    Then, try and browse to yourdomain.com/blogx and see if it switches you to /blog (or adapt to fit your directories)? At least then we’d know if rewrite is working… Ideally, you’d see that in the apache logs too.

    I had the same problem with a fresh installation of LAMP on Fedora Core 5, but the sollution was in the link above from HandySolo:

    AllowOverride Not Enabled
    Your server may not have the AllowOverride directive enabled. If the AllowOverride directive is set to None in your Apache httpd.config file, then .htaccess files are completely ignored. In this case, the server will not even attempt to read .htaccess files in the filesystem. When this directive is set to All, then any directive which has the .htaccess Context is allowed in .htaccess files. Example of enabled AllowOverride directive in httpd.config:

    <Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

    Thank’s to you!
