  • Hi,

    Working on my localhost, had to do the following:

    1. My localhost runs Windows Vista which is pretty restrictive with file permissions. Grant all users to write permission to the file:

    .htaccess

    which is located in your WordPress installation directory.

    2. modify httpd.conf to allow the directives in the .htaccess file to override global default server directives.

    AllowOverride All
# the default was 'None'

    2.a – you’ll also need to turn on mod_rewrite:

    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

    3. After you change the permalink settings, view the .htaccess file. It should contain something like the following:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp25/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wp25/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    4. Restart your apache server

    Note: if you are working on a shared host and this doesn’t work, contact your administrator and ask if mod_rewrite is loaded and if allow_overrides is ‘All’.
