 * Hi there,
 * I have just set up a localhost using AppServer which I thought was all OK until
   I added a page which I cannot navigate to and get the following error:
 * “The requested URL <address> was not found on this server.”
 * This happens with any subpage. I have looked at permalinks settings which are
   currently setup as: /%category%/%postname%/
 * But none of the options seem to be able to work. I think the setting “[http://localhost/?p=123&#8221](http://localhost/?p=123&#8221);
   worked but none of the others
 * Does anyone know how I can get these working? I have tried everything I can think
   of!
 * Thanks

 * You need to switch on mod_rewrite ON on server Apache

   and restarted Apache and all worked fine!
