Sorry! But glad to hear it not just me! Hopefully someone will come along with some more ideas! ??

Just did a Fresh Install of 2.7 in wp7 directory from a .zip download. Created a blank .htaccess file in the wp7 directory and a new empty database and installed. Before I made any changes in the admin area, I tested the site. Everything worked as it should.
I then changed the permalinks from default to ‘Day and name’ in the Settings >> Permalinks in the admin area, and clicked “Save Settings”. No code was shown for the .htaccess file. So I checked the .htaccess file and it had this in it:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp7/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wp7/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

But as before, when I try to click on a link in WordPress, it gives me “Error 404 – Not Found”.

Makes no sense, because I can to the same process above with a 2.6.5 version in the wp6 directory and everything works fine. ??

Thanks! No plugins but the “AskApache RewriteRules Viewer” are installed or activated. This is Fresh install utilizing SVN. Maybe I will try a downloaded version. Thanks again!

2.7 works fine with the default permalink settings.

I was manaully putting the code in the .htaccess file. But I did change the permissions to 777 for .htaccess, changed to default permalinks. I then made sure the .htaccess file was empty but had 777 permissions. Also, the .htaccess is in the ‘wp7’ directory, which is where my 2.7 install is. At this point, 2.7 works as it should with default permalinks, and there is an empty .htaccess file with 777 permissions.

I then changed the permalinks from default to ‘Day and name’ in the Settings >> Permalinks in the admin area, and clicked “Save Settings”. No code was shown for the .htaccess file. So I checked the .htaccess file and it had this in it:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp7/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wp7/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

But as before, when I try to click on a link in WordPress, it gives me “Error 404 – Not Found”.

As you suggested, I installed “AskApache RewriteRules Viewer” and it states the following:

> Permalink: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
> Writable .htaccess file found
> mod_rewrite found
> Not using pathinfo style index permalinks
> Using mod_rewrite permalinks

Any thoughts?

Any one?

I’m trying to get 2.7 to work. So I will limit my comments to 2.7 since 2.6.5 I know already works.

On the permalinks, I am switching from default to ‘Day and name’ in the Settings >> Permalinks in the admin area. When I click ‘Save Changes’, WordPress gives me the code that needs to be placed in the .htaccess file. I have put that code in the .htaccess file (that is the only code in the htaccess file) in the main directory of wp7. Here is the code that is in the file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp7/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wp7/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

I have also made sure that any white space has been eliminated in the .htaccess code. In addition, I chmod 777 the .htaccess file.

No plugins or themes, or anything has been installed or activated. And this is a FRESH NEW install.

I also installed the latest trunk version:
WordPress 2.8-bleeding-edge

It has the same issues as 2.7.

Anyone experiencing the same issue?
