permalinks problem and .htaccess problem

    Hello

    The permalinks don’t work, but from what I have been reading from other users, it seems to be linked to the .htaccess file. Specifically, if I set the blog settings to use permalinks instead of the legacy CGI code, I get 404 errors all over the place.

    The .htacess file is another problem. I am getting a strange error on my blog that “Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public”, and to correct the issue, I am told to move the .htaccess file from “wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager” to “wp-content/backup-db”. Funny thing is, there IS no file under the first directory called .htaccess (I used “ls -a”), and no such file I am aware of except under my web root (one directory level above my entire blog — the blog is in a subdomain).

    What is your advice?

    the htaccess.txt is in the zip file. You need to rename it to .htaccess instead.

    The error went away, but the 404 errors are still there. Do I have to add some code to this file to get permalinks to work?

    I have read elsewhere that someone had added:


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

    # END WordPress

    I tried it; it got me nowhere.

    I read that some ISPs like fasthosts in the UK suggest the line
    RewriteEngine On
    isn’t necessary.
    I removed it and it worked for me.
