   I just upgraded to WP 3.3.
   My WP install is at http://www.Domain.com/blog.
   In my site control panel, it's at /poublic_html/blog.

   I set my Permalink settings to Month and Name.
   The following code appeared: /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
   I'm expecting this to generate a post name like domain.com/blog/2011/12/postname

   A message tells me to update my HTACCESS file with the following:
   

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /index.htm/
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.htm/index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   (HTACCESS is in my root directory, not the /blog/ directory.)

   I read other posts saying to edit the HTACCESS code because I'm not at root.
   I came up with this:
   

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /blog/index.htm/
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . index.htm/index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   Unfortunately, my computer can't find my posts!
   Not VIEW, not PREVIEW.

   I know this has been answered a thousand times!
   I just can't find the answer that fixes my situation.
   A drop-kick in the right direction is greatly appreciated!!

   Remove the index.html/ from your RewriteBase.

   So when WP is not installed in the root domain directory, RewriteBase specifies the WP directory - yes??

   I see two RewriteRule commands. A previous post on this subject said to remove the slash from in front of "/index.php". I didn't touch the first RewriteRule. The second was originally ". /index.html/index.php [L]"

   I did remove the first slash - before index.html. Should I also remove the second slash - before index.php? Do I need both index pages called out?

   Okay - I ran across a blog post that described how to set your post permalink to postname followed by post ID. I liked that, and I tried to implement that, but I still can't see my posts.

   Here's what I did:

   -- Set my Permalinks Custom Structure to
   /blog/%postname%-%post-id%/

   -- Put the following in my .htaccess
   

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /blog/
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . index.htm/index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   Note that I did remove INDEX from the RewriteBase.
   I also removed the initial / from the RewriteRule at teh bottom, but I'm not sure I got that right.

   If someone could please help me straighten this out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

   Found one issue - changed the permalink structure to ?%post_id%/.

   I piblished a post and the URL showed as
   http://familyfunmagic.com/index.htm/blog/reviews-of-birthday-options-in-yuma-an-introduction-49/

   But when I hit Preview or View Post, it looked for:
   http://familyfunmagic.com/index.htm/blog/reviews-of-birthday-options-in-yuma-an-introduction-49/

   And when I typed in the first URL manually, it could not be found.

   Any solutions?

   Okay - big question:
   This htaccess file that I'm modifying ...
   Is it in my root directory? Or the blog directory?

   Resolved by deleting and reinstalling WP.
   Thanks for all the help. (*koff koff*)
