I will check back on this thread in an hour or so. thanks.
You are absolutely right about the permalinks!!
I thought maybe it was the theme, and rolled back to 2011, I guess.
But anyway, the only way I can publish a page is to put it back into default mode.
So I’m guessing that my hosts server is not setup to take permalinks.
And I’d guess and I don’t know, that he needs to add some code and reboot the server?

I see that you are using default permalinks ?page_id=56
what happens when you add a custom permalink structure? /%postname%/
Since you have Ubuntu and there may be some unusual Server settings going on then try this custom permalink structure if /%postname%/ does not work.
/index.php/%postname%/ or index.php/%postname%/ without the first forward slash.
Nasty thunderboomer coming in, and I’m on battery backups, but I’m going down. I’ll give it a go later.
Thank AITpro!

and some other custom permalink possibilities:
/index.php?/%postname%/ or index.php?/%postname%/
I just tried your 2’nd to last one.
Could you check it out for me.

Yep, your permalinks are now working.
So I can now try the top left two auto buttons?
And if they go through I can continue to BulletProof mode?

Yep in theory they should work now that the 404 issue is taken care of, but you may have an additional issue with what your Server allows in .htaccess files. Since the permalink required index.php then most likely the Server httpd.conf file needs to have additional directive settings added.
Rough idea Example (this is for a XAMPP vhost Server configuration, but LAMP/Ubuntu Servers are similar):
http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/wordpress-ssl-htaccess-code-rewrite-ssl-rewritecond-server_port/#post-7291
What is important is this:
The httpd.conf file must be allowing AllowOverride All or else things (.htaccess directives) will not be allowed in .htaccess files. Before going too deep again just use the AutoMagic buttons and activate Root BulletProof Mode and see what happens. If you see a 500 error then delete the root .htaccess file again to get the site back up. You will then have to check the Server config or you will have to comment out security filters one by one to find out what is not allowed on your Server.
This is the Directory directive setting in the httpd.conf file that should be set to AllowOverride All.
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/demo">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Then you will have to try setting the root .htaccess file permissions to 666 again. 0 bytes means your Server is not allowing file writing. Go back in this thread to the instructions on setting file permissions to 666 was for your Server is required.
