Unresolved Permalink Issue
-
Greetings,
I’m absolutely begging for someone to help me! I have read EVERY POST regarding permalink issues and some are CLOSE to what I am experiencing but not exact.
PROBLEM: I cannot get permalinks to work unless I use /index.php/ at the start of the permalink structure or use the default ugly links
I have my blog at http://mak-az.dynu.com/makblog/
I have the mod_rewrite module loaded in Apache
I am using WP 2.0 (WP is supposed to do everything for me)
I start with the default permalink structure (ugly links) — EVERYTHING WORKS FINE!!!Everytime I try to update my permalink structure via the Admin Panel of WP it writes the following info to my .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /makblog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /makblog/index.php
</IfModule># END WordPress
NOTE: Notice the space after the period on the RewriteRule? Also the blank line before # END WordPress? There is also a blank line before # BEGIN WordPress.
I have tried the following suggestions from the WP Codex:
From Codex:
1. If you leave whitespace at the end of your .htaccess file, it may make all pages on your site unavailable — So I removed all whitespace. (Everytime WP updates the file it always adds whitespace, so I make sure to remove it.)2. I edited my wp-includes/vars.php file to say — $is_apache = 1
3. I edited my httpd.config file to say:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>4. I deleted the contents of my .htaccess file and re-created it (by updating the permalink structure).
NONE of those up above helped me.
I have tried the following suggestions from other users:
1. I added the UPDATED functions-post.php file and classes.php file
2. I blanked out the .htaccess file (if I delete it WP doesn’t create a new one; WP didn’t even create one on fresh install I had to make it myself)
3. I went to the permalink page in Admin Panel of WP and chose Date and Name based. That is supposed to give me the structure /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/.
4. After doing that I check my .htaccess file again. My text editor tells me the file was updated by WP so I know it is being written to. When I look at the contents of the .htaccess file it just rewrites the same info I had before: (in otherwords nothing changed)# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /makblog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /makblog/index.php
</IfModule># END WordPress
No matter which permalink structure I choose from the Admin Panel it keeps re-writing the exact same thing (as shown above) into my .htaccess file
All I get are 404 page not found errors.
Default link structure works (ugly links)
http://mak-az.dynu.com/makblog/?p=27Date and Time structure works if I also add /index.php/ to the start of it (thus making it a custom structure)
http://mak-az.dynu.com/makblog/index.php/2006/01/17/the-last-few-days/I do NOT want to have index.php/ as part of my URL. This is what I want below but I always get 404 errors.
http://mak-az.dynu.com/makblog/2006/01/17/the-last-few-days/Nothing I have read on Codex or from users in this support forum works for me, not even adding the updated functions-post.php file and classes.php file.
Can someone please help me, I’m getting so frustrated with this I just want to roll up in a ball and hide in a dark closet.
Kindest Regards,
~ MAK
