   hello!

   I finally got my local version of wordpress uploaded to a remote server and, i think, everything is working. however, i would like help with the following:

   (1)for my site pages, all my urls are structured as follows: http://mydomainname.com/index.php/category/title/. for posts its a similar thing:

   http://mydomainname.com/index.php/2006/10/18/sample-post/

   basically, this is the "date and name based" permalink option. how do i get rid of the index.php portion of both of the above URLs? the rest of the url is fine..

   (2) my home page is showing for http://mydomain.com and when i type in http://www.mydomain.com, it shows up as well. are there any issues with not having the www subdomain included in the URL's?

   thanks

   You can find out how to do (1) in the WordPress codex

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Creating_Rewrite_Rules_.28.htaccess.29

   Basically you need to make .htaccess rewriteable and go to /wp-admin/options-permalink.php on your site to set the options, which I guess you've done.

   For (2) you can make sure that you restrict the site to either use www or not with Enforce www. Preference plugin

   thanks for the reply. i finally got it to work... the problem was the httpd.conf file on my local box/apache..

   i changed a line to the following:

   <Directory />
   Options FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   </Directory>

   the allowoverride was set to none....

   Glad to hear it. ;) Can the status of this thread be changed to [Resolved] now, or..?
