 * I have some pretty strange issues. I made a new Website with WordPress and tried
   to use /%postname%/ permalinks. The problem is, that the Browser always says
 *     ```
       "Not Found
       The requested URL /postname was not found on this server."
       ```
   
 * 1. the htaccess file is writable and correct
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * 2. mod_rewrite is enabled on the server
 * 3. It even happens on clean installations without any plugins and default themes
 * 4. I have 2 other WordPress Websites on the same Server, permalinks are working
   on both of them
 * Can anyone help me?

 * Did you try to refresh the permalink policy via **../wp-admin/options-permalink.
   php** ?
