# Cannot preview post cannot comment

 * I set up the site [http://www.filmnanting.se](http://www.filmnanting.se) recently
   but for some reason I cannot preview any post I make, the post still gets made
   though. And no one can comment. I just get a page not found.
 * The only thing I have done is to add one of those free wordpress themes.
 * Content is chmodded to 777 as a test but still does not work.
 * Is it a .htaccess error?
 * This is really annoying me.
 * Thanks,
    Magenti

 * I’d say your [Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Permalinks) aren’t working.
   Check that link for troubleshooting tips. If you change Permalinks back to Default
   do your links then work?

 * I would agree.
 * But now how do I fix it?
 * The .htaccess will not update via wordpress even if I have it at chmod 777 so
   I entered the code manually and it still will not work.

   is the style I picked but is not showing up.
 * Where would this get saved? In the database? What needs to be chmodded? Maybe
   I should try chmodding everything to 777 for a trial run?
 * Edit: Chmodding it all to 777 did absolutely nothing 🙂

 * Is your server running Apache or IIS? If Apache, you might confirm with your 
   host that mod_rewrite and AllowOverride are both on and enabled.
 * If IIS, you have other challenges ahead… you might visit the [Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Permalinks)
   page and read up on “almost pretty” Permalinks.
