I finally got mine working successfully. If you’d like, I can try and help you figure your problem out as well.
For me, the following worked:
I wrote a new directory tag, with the directory of choice, in the httpd.conf file with only the “Options” and the “AllowSymLinks” attributes.
For instance: I wanted my url to look like “localhost/wordpress/category/postname”
So I put the following into the httpd.conf file:
<Directory "/srv/http/wordpress">
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
(I’m running arch)
Then restarted the apache deamon and rewrote the .htaccess file.
One problem I ran into is that, without noticing, I had a subdirectory within my wordpress directory that had the same name as what I wanted the path to be. I guess wordpress dosn’t allow that, so make sure you delete (or rename) every directory within the wordpress directory that you wish to access.
If this dosn’t work, try checking your permalinks settings.
I have: /%category%/%postname%/ within the custom field, and everything seems to be working.
Hope this helps!
