 * My blog works fine with permalinks set to default. When i set to month/name and
   attempt to load a page, i get the apache 404.
 * The server this site is on is running **apache_1.3.41**.
    The entire wordpress
   dir is set to 777 (folders and files).
 * I loaded the AskApache RewriteRules Viewer 3.0 plugin and the contents of my .
   htaccess file are as follows:
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /info/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule./
   info/index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * Im stumped. Been poking around in the Doc’s and this forum for a couple days 
   now.
 * Any ideas what could be causing the permalinks to break?

 * Check that [Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Permalinks) page for troubleshooting
   tips.
 * In particular, confirm with your host that mod_rewrite and AllowOverride are 
   both on and enabled. If I were to guess, that would be mine for your situation.

 * AllowOverride is **not** a module. Its a setting within Apache’s core.
 * You pasted a list of modules. dont expect to see anything referencing that, there.
 * The link that was provided above explains how to make sure AllowOverride is enabled.

 * I had the webserver people enable AllowOverride and FollowSymLinks.
 * They did it for **only **the WP root dir. Im still having the same problem (Page
   not found).
 * Any ideas?
