Hello, I am having trouble with turning on Pretty URLs.
My WordPress is installed in the /blog directory.
Under Settings < Permalinks < Common Settings, it is set to Default. If I change it to anything else, my blog fails to load content, saying "Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help."
There are no errors reported, and the rules are inserted into the .htaccess file.
What's the next strategy?
Is mod_rewrite enabled on your server? Did you update your .htaccess file (or it writeable)?

Even i get the same problem. What to do?

I'm pretty sure mod_rewrite is turned on, considering the default htaccess had some mod_rewrite commands in it, but if there's a way to tell for sure, how could I do this?
And yes, the changes were made in my htaccess file when WordPress updated it.

I don't think I have access to any command line stuff, as my site is being hosted through Dreamhost.
the default htaccess had some mod_rewrite commands in it
Have you tried removing those rewrite rules temporarily?

Do not use %postname% alone with wordpress version > 2.7 .
Instead try using %category%/%postname%
That's still a very poor choice of permalink structure.
