    The default page.php?id=9 links work, but when I change it to any other permalink (for example: /%year%/%title%/ or /%year%/%title%.html) it gives me a Page Not Found 404 Error. I checked my .htaccess and it gives me:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /~bretthinkle/edwartine.com/layout/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /~bretthinkle/edwartine.com/layout/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    I am running Apache on my server, and when i do permalinks like /index.php/%year%/%title%.html or /index.php/%year%/%title%/ it works fine. any thoughts?

    See this Codex article for some thoughts: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Fixing_Other_Issues

    In particular, writing to .htaccess doesn’t really mean anything if AllowOverrides isn’t “on” in httpd.conf (apache configs). I’d start with making sure that it is not only on, but properly configured (check with your host by asking if they support both mod_rewrite and AllowOverrides). If that’s not it, then there’s quite a few other things to try in that same article.

    Let us know how it goes.
