Permalink not updating .htaccess “no input file specified’
-
Hello,
I’ve recently installed WordPress 2.3 on my server. It’s working well if I use the default Permalink setting. I’m trying to change this to Date and Name Based, but it has not been working (anything other than default causes errors).
When I update the permalink structure, it tells me “Permalink structure updated.” However, when I click on any of the links on the site, though, I get the error “no input file specified”. Only the home page works ok.
I’ve reverted back to Default Permalinks for now, but my site is http://www.wahwebmommy.com/
I’ve been through tons of support docs here on WordPress and also on Google, but nothing I’ve tried works. It seems that the .htaccess file should be automatically updated (going by the success note given in the admin once I update permalinks). However the .htaccess file remains unchanged.
I’ve started out with both a blank .htaccess file, as well as a file with the following as the only text in it (as suggested by my hosting company):
RewriteEngine On
The .htaccess is chmod 666 as suggested in the support files (yes, I’ve read this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks as well as about a million other posts 😉 )
I’ve found several lines of code in other support posts / sites / etc. and manually added these to the .htaccess file, but none of these work either.
I would think if the file were not automatically updated by WordPress, that it would show me the correct code to manually enter into the .htaccess file myself, but again, it says that it was successfully updated.
I spent a good half an hour on the phone w/ tech support from the hosting company, but they could not figure out the problem either. (Overall, though I’ve spent all day so far trying to figure this out, lol.)
Below are some of my server specs that might be helpful:
mod_rewrite = enabled
AllowOverride = enabled
FreeBSD 4.7
Perl 5.6
PHP 4.4.4
Zend Engine 1.3
Apache 1.3.33
MySQL 4.0
WordPress 2.3I’m hoping someone can help me out, because I’m at a complete loss as to why the permalinks aren’t working.
Help!
TIA 🙂
