reset your permalinks
admin – settings – permalinks
I’m having the same issue. It’s a brand new install… I deleted all other WordPress installations and folders, and I’m installing into LocalHost using XAMPP.
The very first thing I do is set my permalinks, and yet, the only page I get to is the homepage. If I click on any post or page, I get:
Not Found
The requested URL /wordpress/2009/03/13/hello-world/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.58 (Win32) PHP/5.1.4 Server at localhost Port 80
I’m a little stumped.
Thanks!
are you sure .htaccess is being generated?
how can i tell if .htaccess is being generated? It’s in the folder, but that’s the extent of my knowledge. 🙂
open it in a text editor and see what’s in there
This is what I have:
# 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
hmmm…that looks good
let me look at my local install when I get home – about 30-40min. Maybe I can see something.
ahhh…one thing in looking over the notes I forgot:
# If you want to use permalinks, you will need to make a change inside another file:
Click the Start button, followed by My Computer > Main drive > Xampplite > apache > Conf and find the file httpd.conf. Open that in a text editor. Use the search facility in the editor to find “rewrite”. The line you need looks like this:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
You need to take away the hash sign so it looks like this
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Now just save the file.
*sigh* I cannot make this work… I downloaded a plugin – Simple PayPal Shopping Cart Plugin – and that’s when everything went to heck.
So I deleted all the WordPress installations (there were two in localhost), and redownloaded and reinstalled WordPress again.
But now I can’t get to any page other than localhost/wordpress (though, I can get to wp-admin)
(And I’m actually using WinLAMP, not XAMPP. Sorry. 🙂 )
httpd.conf. Open that in a text editor. Use the search facility in the editor to find “rewrite”. The line you need looks like this:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
You need to take away the hash sign so it looks like this
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Now just save the file.
you still should have the httpd.conf file – all apache servers do
maybe you should uninstall winlamp and try xampp. I’ve done numerous installs with – no problems
