    My blog works fine with permalinks set to default. When i set to month/name and attempt to load a page, i get the apache 404.

    The server this site is on is running apache_1.3.41.
    The entire wordpress dir is set to 777 (folders and files).

    I loaded the AskApache RewriteRules Viewer 3.0 plugin and the contents of my .htaccess file are as follows:

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

    # END WordPress

    Im stumped. Been poking around in the Doc's and this forum for a couple days now.

    Any ideas what could be causing the permalinks to break?

    Check that Permalinks page for troubleshooting tips.

    In particular, confirm with your host that mod_rewrite and AllowOverride are both on and enabled. If I were to guess, that would be mine for your situation.

    i know i have mod_rewrite set to on. doesn't look like allowOverride is on??

    here's my modules:
    mod_dav, mod_auth_mysql, mod_php4, mod_rewrite, mod_proxy, mod_ssl, mod_so, mod_setenvif, mod_auth, mod_access, mod_alias, mod_userdir, mod_actions, mod_imap, mod_asis, mod_cgi, mod_dir, mod_autoindex, mod_include, mod_status, mod_negotiation, mod_mime, mod_log_config, mod_env, http_core

    AllowOverride is not a module. Its a setting within Apache's core.

    You pasted a list of modules. dont expect to see anything referencing that, there.

    The link that was provided above explains how to make sure AllowOverride is enabled.

    I had the webserver people enable AllowOverride and FollowSymLinks.

    They did it for only the WP root dir. Im still having the same problem (Page not found).

    Any ideas?
