   First of all, I am hosted by GoDaddy, so I had to create my .htaccess file (is it supposed to have a .txt extension?) I have been trying for 2 weeks to get it to work right. Is this what my .htaccess file is supposed to have in it? I don't think my Wordpress has had any luck putting anything in there. I just copied and pasted this from a website. Please help! Need to launch soon!

   AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
   AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4
   Options -MultiViews

   # BEGIN WordPress
   RedirectMatch permanent index.php/(.*) http://domain.tld/$1
   <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.cockydeals\.tld$ [NC]
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://cockydeals.tld%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.(html|php)\ HTTP/
   RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.(html|php)$ http://domain.tld/$1 [R=301,L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /+[^\.]+$
   RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </ifmodule>
   # END WordPress

   My friend, .htaccess file has everything to do with your wordpress installation.

   It is not a text file, just leave the name like is

   .htaccess

   If you copied it from another website, will not work for you as soon you don't update the links from within the file.

   Try and delete that file from your hosting provider, as it will be recreated when you visit permalink structure from your admin control panel.

   A link to your website would help also.

   I know for a fact that the file cannot be created automatically through wordpress. Tried it already. I think I found out the problem had to do with my hosting being Windows instead of Linux. I am in the process of switching it over now. I'll write again if it works or not.

   Windows? You should switch to Linux, it will solve the problem.

   Yep! It worked instantly. My site was pretty small so it only took GoDaddy about 2hrs to transfer over. Not their predicted 72hrs.

   Sorry to hear this. Permalinks work without issue on our hosting servers. As for the 500 error, this can be caused by a variety of issues. If you're account is Linux, most likely it's a corrupt .htaccess file.

   Without more information it's hard to pinpoint. To obtain further assistance with this, please contact our support team here.

   It's related to how permissions are used between the different kind of server types and how Wordpress utilises those permissions in the process of trying to create and/or modify the htaccess file (or has been in some cases).

   There's a codex page somewhere that details what i'm talking about (i proberly make very little sense), be damned if i can find it though...

   Nice to see a host posting here to help though... good on ya GD guys.. ;)

    I agree with t31os_ as much as I despise Godaddy, kudos to their team for visiting the WordPress forum and offering help. That's fantastic customer service.
