   I have just moved my wordpress site from local dev using XAMPP to what will be our live server running Apache. Prior to move permalinks were working fine. But now I can only get them to work as below:

   Was using: /%category%/%postname%/ -worked locally
   Results: page not found

   Now using: /index.php/%category%/%postname%/
   Results: Works (mod_rewrite is working) with resulting URL.com/index.php/cat/post/

   Do I have to modify the .htaccess file? The file is currently:
   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   # END WordPress

   Don't know why its doing this... thanks for any help!!!

   I should note that Apache is running on Windows Server 2003

   It's a windows thing. I had the same issue the only way I solved it was to go Linux!

   Just solved it... had to do the .htaccess override for the virtual host location as well as root in the httpd.conf file

   <Directory />
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   </Directory>
