What is in your .htaccess file?
This file has been modified from suggestions on google. The problem is, this .htaccess is at /var/www. There are four subsites that are being run from this:
ls
blog ddrc gisurg panc test wp
Some are working, some are not.
1- should I create a separate .htaccess for each site, and where? Is this possible?
2 – Why does this break when I change common settings to Post Name?
3 – Why is the original .htaccess file unable to accomodate this change. Is this a rights issue?
Thanks for the help

Original .htaccess is commented out.
#protect wpconfig.php
#<files wp-config.php>
#order allow,deny
#deny from all
#</files>
#order allow,deny
#deny from all
#</files>
This does not seem to work.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Can you reduce the file to just:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Make sure that you use a plain text editor to make the changes.
At this point, since these are in beta, I am going to re-build and see what happens with the corrected .htaccess. Removing the commented out sections did not solve the problem. Still have 2 questions.
1 – How can I change the permalink setting to post name in 3.4.2?
2- What other file could be modified to correct this issue? As I said, only one site is inoperable.
I promise never to forget git.

1. Via Settings -> Permalinks
2. None. The permalink settings are stored in your database.
