    I want to customize my permalinks to /%category%/%postname%/

    I created a htaccess. file in my blog server directory where the index.php file exists

    I saved the Save Changes button in the dashboard admin settings permalinks.

    I clicked on the View Site button

    I clicked on various posts to observe the url, but I received a 404 error.

    I went back to the dashboard admin settings permalinks.

    in textarea box was the following code

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

    I copy and pasted the code into htaccess. file and Ftped the file to
    my blog server directory where the index.php file exists

    I chmod the file to 666 which is Owner and Group anf Public Read and Write permissions

    I clicked on various posts to observe the url, but I still received a 404 error.

    I set the permalinks structure back to the default and I am not receiving the 404 error.

    What did I do wrong in trying to try customizing my permalinks to /%category%/%postname%/
