 * Hello All,
 * I recently moved my blog from wordpress.com to self hosted. I imported the XML
   file, and made sure to change the permalink structure to match wordpress.com (
   i.e. year/month/day/name). All the posts have been imported, but none of the 
   permalinks for the posts work!
 * The permalink structure looks like:
    [http://blog.domain.com/index.php/year/month/day/title/](http://blog.domain.com/index.php/year/month/day/title/)
 * When I clink on a link it says “no input file specified”.
 * I have no SQL knowledge. How do I get my links match? Please help!
 * thanks

 * I would do it manually but I don’t even know what a functioning permalink structure
   should look like. Please help!

 * Basically I want to mirror the file structure that I had on my wordpress.com 
   blog, which I had mapped to [blog.farawayflyfishing.com](http://blog.farawayflyfishing.com),
   so that the links & urls stay the same. For whatever reason, the attachement 
   pages & links don’t work
 * The permalinks are set to: blog.farawayflyfishing.com/index.php/year/month/day/
   name,
 * but there’s no such file directory structure & none of the links work. where 
   could the blog pages be located? I installed wordpress & set up the database,
   and imported the xml file exactly according the instructions.

 * Why are you using index.php in your custom structure? Have you tried just selecting
   the pre-configured year/month/day/name setting?

 * That’s what I did do. It confuses me too. In my wp control panel, the option 
   for common permalink settings are:
 * Common settings
    Default [http://blog.farawayflyfishing.com/?p=123](http://blog.farawayflyfishing.com/?p=123)
 * Day and name [http://blog.farawayflyfishing.com/index.php/2010/04/06/sample-post/](http://blog.farawayflyfishing.com/index.php/2010/04/06/sample-post/)
 * Month and name [http://blog.farawayflyfishing.com/index.php/2010/04/sample-post/](http://blog.farawayflyfishing.com/index.php/2010/04/sample-post/)
 * Numeric [http://blog.farawayflyfishing.com/index.php/archives/123](http://blog.farawayflyfishing.com/index.php/archives/123)
 * Custom Structure
 * I chose Day & name cause that’s what I thought was needed. There is no folder
   structure under the root directory for year/month/day Where would the posts be
   located?

 * that URL doesn’t work yet cause I had to reset the DNS settings so that it would
   stop mapping to my wordpress.com site, but you can still see it if you put blog.
   farawayflyfishing.com/index.php

 * In that case, I’d wait until your DN has propagated and then retry the custom
   permalinks again.
