 * Hello: i’ve been trying to configure permalinks using
 * Date and name based
    » [http://www.mydomain.com/2006/09/20/sample-post/](http://www.mydomain.com/2006/09/20/sample-post/)
 * but struggled to get it to work. I coppied the following:
 * <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule
   >
 * into my .htaccess file, but it didn’t seem to work. every time i click on the
   link, the browser displays the correct URL in date format (ex: the URL shows 
   [http://www.mydomain.com/2006/09/20/hello-world/](http://www.mydomain.com/2006/09/20/hello-world/)),
   but it does not display the content. here’s the message:
 * Not Found
    The requested URL /2006/09/20/hello-world/ was not found on this server.
 * what do i need to do to get it to work? please advise. thanks in advance for 
   the insights.

 * 1. Read and see the troubleshooting section!
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)
   2. Check with your host if mod_rewrite is enabled (actually, this should be the
   first 🙂 3. Just to have a htaccess file is NOT enough. Did you go into your 
   admin panel > Options > Permalinks?

    1. thanks for the link! 2. mod_rewrite is enabled as i checked my httpd.
   conf file and the line “LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so” is 
   uncommented. 3. i have configured the Permalinks in Options. that’s how i was
   able to add the following:
 * <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule
   >
 * into .htaccess file
 * am I missing anything here? thanks for the help.

 * Now check AllowOverride and make sure it’s enabled.

 * it’s working now… i had the extra www in my <Directory> path
 * DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mypath
    <Directory “/var/www/html/mypath/www AllowOverride
   All </Directory>
 * DocumentRoot and <Directory> paths must be the same… the extra www in <Directory
   > caused Permalinks not to work. deleting www is the solution to my problem! 
   🙂
 * thanks for the insights everyone!
