so since my host doesnt support mod_rewrite and I am installing WP on my server, what limitation am I going to face on account of not having mod_rewrite enabled?

godaddy tech support has just informed me that mod_rewrite is currently unavailable… in which case I have one question whether this is essentialfor the smooth running of WP…

this I can help you with… edit your config wp.php ..it should reflect the following.

username/db : both should be the same
Host: edit the localhost which is set by default to the one which is defined by godaddy… this you will find in the db section of godaddy control panel..

thanks jinsan… I think I will wait a little more longer to see what godaddy can come up with..

as phpprincess say, even with the updated permalinks structure I still cannot acces the first post i.e https://www.arrogantly.com/2005/03/20/hello-world/ but then again now I have deleted the .htaccess file … is it mandatory?

absolutely right cypher…. absolutely right… my mistake I guess..

and no root.. its a linux server.

hm…thanks a lot… shall try it my friend.

actually I didnt enable it initially and it was working perfectly… then I installed… a few plugins… the comment spell checker, spam karma and the no follow plugin and then somehow the .htaccess file was created.
As they stated once I deleted it, its back working now.. guess I shall wait longer to completely import from blogger.

what do you guys think is the real problem.. is it at godaddy’s end or at W.P’s end.. if its at W.P’s end. is there a patch for the same.?

Hey thanks for the tip my friend.. I shall try and let you know how successful I was…
