Permalink problems

    Hi Everyone,

    So I installed WordPress 2.5 today on a brand new box running Ubuntu. I then installed ComicPress 2.1 and things were working great. The only trouble is, none of my permalinks work at all. I’ve been doing research, and my .htaccess file has all the permissions it needs and I’ve tried playing around with the paths in there to no avail. I’m at a loss as to what is going wrong. Please help!

    My site is darknumchuck.com, I’m getting 404’d on any link I click.

    You do realized that your site’s being redirected to localhost right?
    Go to Setting and change the appropriate settings.

    Ok, I redirected the site to my url, but I still have my wordpress url set to localhost. Should I change that?

    Ok, so now both URLs in my general settings have been changed to darknumchuck.com.

    Still no other pages besides the front page. Halp?

    Ok, so I figured out my problem, and I hope it helps someone else.

    First off, make sure your .htaccess file is there. It should only have code in it when you enable a permalink structure other than default.

    Second, make sure you have the permissions to go and edit the apache2.conf file and add this code:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
</IfModule>

    Finally, under the sites-enabled folder of apache2, be sure to change all options that say “AllowOverride” to all instead of none. It may seem like overkill, but I’m honestly not sure which one finally worked.

    Oh, and one last thing.

    RESTART YOUR APACHE SERVER. I had these settings correct for 30 minutes before I realized that a simple server restart would put them into effect and then the pretty permalinks would work again.

    Thanks very much to haochi!
