[resolved] "Pretty Permalinks" 404 error -- cannot turn on mod_rewrite module (3 posts)

    Regarding this fix:

    My webhost says "we do not support mod_rewrite on our windows platform," which I guess means they aren't willing to activate the module for me. Is there a workaround for "pretty permalinks"?

    Windows servers simply do not have a mod_rewrite module.

    See http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite

    Ah ha! Good to know. I'll see if they're willing to install the URL Rewrite Module. Thanks.
