   Hi Guys,

   Trying to get permalinks setup on a blog I'm working on. the webserver has one site and 2 wordpress blogs on it. When I turn permalinks on in wp, the urls change as they should, the htaccess file gets updated, and yet the uri's still come up with a 404 not found error.
   I've double checked that mod_rewrite is installed etc. Other posts I've read on this indicated that the RewriteBase default may need changing.
   I've tried /var/public_html/makeithappen/
   (where makeithappen is the directory containing the wp install, & .htaccess etc)

   the AskApache RewriteRules viewer plugin tells me:
   > Permalink: /%postname%/
   > Writable .htaccess file found
   > mod_rewrite found
   > Not using pathinfo style index permalinks
   > Using mod_rewrite permalinks
   so as far as I can tell, the htaccess file is probably not right for my server setup.

   Any ideas?

   Yeah, problem sorted now.
   The apache virtual host for the site had
   AllowOveride none
   which prevented the htaccess file from being used.
   I've changed the overide to 'all' and made sure I changed the file permissions on the htaccess file so it's not world writable
