   Hi, I have a standard installation of the latest wordpress on my experimental site, and wanted to try "pretty" permalinks. Unfortunately, my links are broken now. I searched the forum and google, and followed the instructions here:
   http://www.squidoo.com/wordpress-not-found-error-fix

   but it doesn't work. I've put an httpd.conf in my public_html folder on my server with
   <Directory /public_html>
   Options Indexes MultiViews SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
   AllowOverride Options FileInfo
   </Directory>
   as I read something about maybe that would work, but no luck. Maybe I have the path wrong.
   I know this has been covered ad nauseam on this forum, but everything I've read is either too confusing or hasn't worked. Can someone help? Thanks!

   What parameters did you enter for the permalinks?

   I'd try and undo the htaccess and anything else and start from there

   If you have other mod_rewrite rules to include put them BEFORE Wordpress's rules

   I think the standard htaccess is:
   

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

   Richard,
   That did it. Thanks. Where did you get that code? I wonder why isn't there more documentation on it. I've tried literally dozens of "solutions" found here and on google, but nothing has worked until now.

   I just looked at the .htaccess that was produced by my site :-)

   Glad it worked
