   Hello. I recently installed wordpress on my server. I'm using FrontPage, and I've run into some major problems when trying to change my permalinks from the default setting to the customized settings. The permalinks will not work unless I place index.php before them. For example, if I want to use /%category%/%postname%/, I need to put it like this: index.php/%category%/%postname%/ in order for the permalink to work. My problem is that I do not want the index.php in the URL. Does anyone know how I can get the permalinks to work using frontpage without having to include the index.php first? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   I have a similar problem..

   I was running WP 2.6 on 4 blogs, and using /%category%/%postname%/ as my custom permalink structure and a static home page, with blog posts going to another page called "weblog"

   i upgraded all 4 blogs to 2.7 and now my /%category%/%postname%/ structure will not work, i get 404 errors on every page and post - even when they appear in the archive and catagory links in the sidebar

   I even tried a completely new installation, and before I imported my data bvack in i tested the /%category%/%postname%/ structure and it doesn't work.. 404 errors constantly.

   I can only get the lnks to work if i choose the default permalink structure and that is not desirable

   can anyone help? please? (please note, i am not very techie)

   much appreciated . JF

   @ JF
   make your .htaccess file this with a 755 permissions level.

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