i just got off the phone with my host and they told me they don’t support AllowOverride?
so… i could use a recommondation for a hassle-free host that i could use to host my wordpress blog? any suggestions anyone?
Bummer. One option would be to include “index.php” at the start of your permalinks (use the custom field). Something like:
/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
If that’s not desirable, do some searching here in the forums for host options. There have been a few threads in the last couple months.
cool thanks, i think my host sucks anyways, so i dont mind finding a new one.
I am having this problem. I am at the above link that HandySolo provided, at step 2:
Look for $is_apache = strstr($_SERVER[‘SERVER_SOFTWARE’], ‘Apache’) ? 1 : 0;
I do not have that in my vars.php. This is what is listed on mine:
$is_apache = ( strstr($_SERVER[‘SERVER_SOFTWARE’], ‘Apache’) || strstr($_SERVER[‘SERVER_SOFTWARE’], ‘LiteSpeed’) ) ? 1 : 0;
Is this the line I need to replace? Or should I not change it? Thanks. I am having tons of problems with changing my permalink structure from default to “pretty” and I’m afraid my website host is the problem.
