Permalinks Break Upon Creation?

    Ok. I understand that permalinks break all old links by definition, and that there is supposed to be a plug in out there to fix that.

    My problem is that in trying a custom structure, as soon as I click on “View Post” it comes up broken! [thank goodness for testing servers] It can’t be broken upon creation, so something is wrong. I thought I followed the steps, and used the code provided to make .htaccess. I’m hoping some experienced heads out there can look at this symptom and know right away what went astray and tell me (and whoever else has this problem) how to fix it. Otherwise, there’s no telling how long I’ll be staring at this before I figure it out – if I do. 😉 Thx.

    The ?p= format should always work, but other permalinks will break.

    Do you currently have a custom permalink structure or are you using the ?p= format?

    Is your testing server Apache?

    If it is Apache, do you have mod_rewrite installed and enabled, and do you have AllowOverride set to All?

    I am using the default format. I wanted to change it to something like post id/post name, but as I said, this is breaking upon creation.

    I am using Apache, and AllowOverride was set to none, but fixing that hasn’t changed anything.

    All I did was take out the # in front of mod_rewrite. Was that enough?

    Thx.

    I asked about the default format because if you were already using a custom permalink structure then we’d know that your Apache setup is right. Sounds like it isn’t.

    AllowOverride None will completely disable .htaccess, so even if that wasn’t all of the problem it was, or would have eventually been, a problem.

    You uncommented the LoadModule line for mod_rewrite, correct? After that you need to restart the server for the change to take effect. Did you do that?
