   I want to, and tried to change the permalink to this structure: /&category%/%postname%/ but when I tried that, I got a 404 error, so I changed back to the default.

   Questions:

   1. Where should the .htacess file be??

   2. What should be entered into the .htacess file for the permalink structure I want to work correctly??

   Thanks, Allyn

   the .htaccess file should be at the root of your wordpress install ie where your wp-admin wp-content etc files are.

   To change your perma link structure try adding this to your .htaccess file and set permissions to 666
   

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   now update permalinks

   DO NOT FORGET to go back and set .htaccess permissions to 644 otherwise it is a HUGE security issue
