   I want to edit my permalinks, and it tells me that my .htaccess file is not writeable.

   However, I cannot seem to find that file anywhere.
   I am using filezilla, and I've forced it to show hidden files - but no luck.

   I have looked through my hosts file management system - and I still cannot find the .htaccess file.

   Could someone please help me?

   create a blank one and upload it and chmod 666
   generate your permalinks
   chmod to 644 to be secure

   Sorry for being a complete blonde - but I am using a Mac computer - how do I create a blank file?

   I tried in textedit - but it will only let me save as certain file types...

   I figured it out by myself.

   However, once I had the file uploaded, changed the name and chmod 666 I get a Internal Server Error message, when I try to access my page or my admin page.

   Hi,

   Remove bad codes from htaccess file and add this code in it:

   # 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.

   Hi Shane,

   I tried that, but every time I upload a .htaccess file to my server, I get the 500 internal sever error, when I try to load my paged.

   And it doesn't matter what permissions the .htaccess file has or what I put in it.
