   Hi,

   I have been havin this problem since yesterday with my blog. I was trying to set up permalinks and had to edit my htaccess file to do so, but when I tried, I was suddenly gettin 403 forbidden error on my blog site. I checked the error log and it said that it could access the .htaccess file so i changed the file permissions. I no longer get an 403 error but just a blank page on my site. I think I may have changed more file permissions whilst messing around trying to get permalinks working.
   Does anybody have any suggestions?? Would it be possible to simply copy all the files from a new wordpress installation and keep my current database??

   Any advise would be grateful (and I know I did a silly thing messing with htaccess and other files but permalinks are just hard to get working! )

   Thanks very much :)

   Try deleting the .htaccess file.

   Hi,

   Revert back the permissions of htaccess file and change the desired permalinks which you want for your blog..and nadd thsi code in htaccess file:

   # BEGIN WordPress

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   # END WordPress

   Thanks,

   Shane G.
