# Permalink problems after migration

 * This morning I Backupbuddied WP from a folder to the server root. It went well.
   But I soon realized there was trouble.
 * WP is making no changes to .htaccess. Permission is 666 which I cant change from
   FTP.
 * I am using default in permalink settings. [http://rackjite.com/?p=123](http://rackjite.com/?p=123)
   
   Anything else and I get the WP WHOOPS FILE NOT FOUND.
 * It all works internally
    But Google results seem to have an /archive in the URL
   of all 9000 articles making 404s.
 * So I guess I need help with a custom structure string.
    An .htaccesss code line
   to do or undo ARCHIVES. And do I need to go SSH to change the CHOD of the .htaccess
   file so maybe WP can do all this automatically?
 * Thanx… Traffic is poor!
 * Troubles at… rackjite.com
