   Hi All,

   I am thinking about changing the Permalink Settings from default to a more "friendly" format using day time but as soon as I change the setting and then refresh and try to view a post etc I get a "404 Not Found"? I am actually testing this on a dev server using Windows via WAMP). My WordPress is installed on localhost at C:\wamp\www\wordpress

   and my .htaccess file contains:

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

   I am obviously wary of trying this on a production site (which is not Windows) if it is as dodgy as it is on my dev box?

   Any suggestions/ideas most welcome.

   Thanks

   Tony
