2.7.1 .htaccess = SYNTAX ?

    Can someone share with me a sample of .htaccess that works with WP 2.7.1 please?
    My WP is working but has no .htaccess IN it anywhere in the directory tree.
    I cannot auto-upgrade since 2.7
    my current (prev.) .htaccess syntax is:
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/~usernameu/xxxblog.com(.*) [NC]

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /~username/xxxblog.com/$1

    That simply kills my blog entirely off the web. Can someone give me another example please?
    I actually think my Upgrade problem is to do with my Host not adequately giving me ‘permissions’ at the apache level but I’m not geek enough to even understand fully what I think I just said.
    ggrrr

    Hey I am looking for the same thing right now.

    Do you currently see your .htaccess file?

    First confirm that .htaccess actually is, or is not, there. It is a hidden file by default. Turn on the “view hidden files” option in your ftp client and verify the presence of .htaccess in the directory where WordPress is installed.

    Quick reference for hidden files, ftp and chmod

    This is good reading as well, from same page.

    Permission Scheme for WordPress

    I hope something there helps.

    Found this good resource which shows actual syntax example for wp htaccess file.

    my main goal right now is to get the permalinking working.

    ClaytonJames – Yes I have no problem seeing MY .htaccess

    In the event, I created an empty one, which does not interfere with the operation of the blog, then followed instructions: – went to my Dashboard and saved Permalinks again. That had no impact on my empty .htaccess file (permissions of file was set at 777). I may try again, removing the .htaccess file all together and see if Permalinks creates a new one.

    Incidentally, I see my public_html Folder has Permissions set at 711 and I cannot change that in DirectAdmin. It has a little red arrow on the folder icon too. Perhaps THIS was the problem all along with my inability (no permissions) to automatically upgrade WP 2.7 to 2.7.1

    First I shall look at richagent link and see if that’s good for me.

    Thanks all !! 🙂

    I tried some stuff from that richagent link and still found, no matter what, any version of .htaccess with code in it crashed my blog.
    As the Blog is running fine and it’s at WP 2.7.1 I will go with a blank version of .htaccess for now.
    Next time I Upgrade I’ll discuss permissions again with my host. I am sure he has apache set to protect my Domain from WordPress external intervention – but I’m just not geek enough to point perzackerly where and how – yet.
