   I'm still just testing out wordpress on my own servers. I imported a wordpress.com blog, and went to change the permalinks. When I did that, all of the posts still showed up on the home page, however, when I went to view a full post, I gog a 404 error. Is this normal, and what can I do to combat it.

   Hi,

   Set your desired permalink and add this code in htaccess:

   # 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.

   @xewax I'm looking to be able to get to my links from my own webpage, not google, but thanks anyway. (Or maybe I just mis-interpreted the post).

   @Shane, I tried it, and it didn't work. Can I ask what on earth that was supposed to do (and why it's not put in as part of installing wordpress in the first place). Also, this may be a little OS specific, but why was htaccess in /etc/wordpress rather than in the same place my wordpress install is /var/www/wordpress? Thank you.
