To see if you have mod_rewrite:
PHP Info
* Paste this into a new Notepad / BBEdit file
* <?php infophp(); ?>
* Save as ‘info.php’
* Upload to server. Visit in your browser (www.example.com/info.php)
* That will give you info about your php version and mod_rewrite.
* It’s a long page on info, so you will need to hunt it down.

its there.. but I noticed this too:
Virtual Directory Support: disabled
I have that disabled too – I just checked.
Post the htaccess here ?
Is there any reason you left out
RewriteBase /wptest/
and instead put it into all the lines ?
Did it work with what wp gave you originally ?
Does the folder ‘wptest’ contain all the files and folders or did you install into different directories ?
When it didn’t work, what errors were thrown up ?
Do you have anything else in the .htaccess ?

ack.. bumping this. anyone have any ideas?
Add this to the top of your generated .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
I bet you’re using an ensim host… this problem took me weeks to sort through.

heh.. its an ensim host. and that worked. thanks so much ^_^.
can you explain what that line means, exactly? i just wanna know outta curiosity.
It means that it works. LOL
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure. Something about following virtual directories.
