 * I am new to wordpress.
    Permalink Settings->Default setting is working fine for
   new pages. But **post name** option does not work. I got the following errors
 * “Not Found
 * The requested URL/wordpress/new-page/ was not found on this server.”
 * I am running apache on my laptop in localhost environment.
