Try putting:
Options +FollowSymlinks
at the top of the .htaccess file.
My .htaccess is also used for my forum url rewriting and no duplicates etc. will adding that line affect any of those?
Hi,
As you are modifying the permalinks..add this code in htaccess file..
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Maybe I first should have asked which htaccess you are editing. You need to place those and the:
Options +FollowSymlinks
in the .htaccess in your blog directory.
You probably would need that line in your forum as wellor the rewrite won’t work for it.
There is currently no .htaccess in the blog folder.
Here is the content of the .htaccess in the root of the domain (where the forum files are) –
# Lines That should already be in your .htacess
<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
# You may need to un-comment the following lines
# Options +FollowSymlinks
# To make sure that rewritten dir or file (/|.html) will not load dir.php in case it exist
# Options -MultiViews
# REMEBER YOU ONLY NEED TO STARD MOD REWRITE ONCE
RewriteEngine On
# REWRITE BASE
RewriteBase /

Permalinks requires an .htaccess in its folder. CReate an empty one in the blog directory and try resetting permalinks in WOrdpress. It should put in the required entries. ONLY if WP does not edit the htaccess itself add this to the .htaccess IN THE BLOG directory:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I’ve tried every option given (in the blog folder’s .htacces) and every one of them results in a 404 (you’re looking for something that’s not here”..???
Try putting:
Options +FollowSymlinks
at the top of the .htaccess file.
I did try that, it didn’t work, it resulted in a 404, the same as without it.
Check the URL’s in Settings. Make sure they are correct for WP.
yes, they appear to be.. would i get this same problem if i just install one of the many seo plugins available?
I realize this is an old one but I’m having a similar problem. I switched the site from a linux server to a windows server and now permalinks will not work. I have tried with index.php and without. When I click any link I get a 404. Here’s my file with some suggestions I got from this thread
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /news
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /news/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Any advice is much appreciated. When I have permalinks turned off, I have no problem, but who wants those ugly links?
Thanks in advance!

Yep, that looks like the same problem. Thanks!
