My .htaccess file seems to be missing

    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.

    Sorry – it’s http://www.itsfashionbaby.dk – right now I have the .htacess file, so it’s showing a 500 internal server error – let me know, if I should delete file.
