   Installed wordpress, started messing around with a theme and now none of my pages will load. Checked all my files in the theme folder.. checked my MySQL database for errors.. Is it the server or what?

   P.S. The only WordPress file I edited was wp-config.php and I am 98% sure there are no errors.

   Can you share a link to the blog? It will be easier to investigate if we can see it.

   Im getting exactly the same problem! I can see the home page: http://www.chrismeekphotography.com/blog but if I click on an entry, I get a "Page not Found" error. I haven't changed any code. All I did was install it, change the colors of the title, change some settings including the permalinks, and deleting the sample posts and pages. I can access the admin area and publish new posts, but I can't click on the posts. Any ideas?

   PS I installed with Fantastico, in case that helps in debugging...

   It looks like the permalinks didn't set correctly. Try re-saving them again at Settings/Permalinks. If WordPress cannot automatically edit your .htaccess file, it will provide manual instructions after saving.

   Perfect! I didn't realize that I had to edit the .htaccess file. I added the code, and now it works perfectly! Thanks!

   I've tried resetting to defaults, then deleting htaccess and resetting permalinks - no joy.

   What should the htaccess file look like?
   I chose the setting /%category%/%postname%

   Also what chmod should the htaccess have?

   Those questions are answered in the Using Permalinks page linked to before.

   What should the htaccess file look like?
