   Hi All,

   I hope someone can help. I'm having trouble getting my pretty links to work in wp.

   I'm running apache (2.0.63) & php (5.2.13) on a windows XP pro PC at the mo whilst I develop the site.

   All my posts are within:
   category/category/post

   for example:
   section/sub section/post name

   So I've set my custom structure as:
   /%category%/%postname%/

   Mod rewrite is enabled. Within localhost, I'm running my install within the wordpress dir:
   Http://localhost/wordpress/

   My .htaccess file is as follows;
   

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

   I can see the links have changed, however, when I click the link I get a HTTP 404 Not Found page.

   Where the heck am I going wrong?

   Many thanks in advanced

   Which said:

   I found a solution to this problem. mod_rewrite should be enabled in apache configuration but that isn't enough if php and apache are install separately

   # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
   # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
   # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
   #
   AllowOverride None

   should be changed with:

   # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
   # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
   # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
   #
   AllowOverride All

   and don't forget to restart apache!

   Spoke too soon. Having fixed the post links, the pages now won't work as it's looking for the cat/sub cat/ page id

   Is this a tweak to the .htaccess file?
