# Permalink Change Problem

 * Hi All. I’ve set up wordpress on my own server. Everything looks okey except 
   one problem with Permalink.
 * I want to change the Permalink structure to “Date and name based”, the pretty
   one. Everytime I choose that option, it shows “Permalink structure updated”. 
   I guess this means I have no problem with writing permission to .htaccess file.
   Also, I’ve enabled AllowOverride in httpd.config and restart Apache.
 * I’ve been following the link [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)
   but still can’t figure out the problem. Anyone could help me out?

 * Sorry, my bad. I mean, with all these efforts, it still shows the error info:
 * Not Found
    The requested URL wordpress/2006/06/14/wordpress-plugins/ was not 
   found on this server.

 * Have you confirmed that the .htaccess file was indeed created and looks OK?

 * Cypher, thanks! This is something I didn’t think about. What does a right .htacess
   file look like? I just did some search but didn’t find a file to compare.
 * Friends, can you provide a copy of yours?

 * Sure thing..my working site has this in .htaccess for the default permalink structure..
 * `
    # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / 
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule./
   index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress

 * Sigh… it’s almost the same. Mine is
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /wordpress/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule./
   wordpress/index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * I put wordpress folder under my webroot.
    /webroot/worpress. I think that might
   mean it’s not the .htaccess problem…
 * Any other thoughts?
