 * Ok I have read every single post available on the issue involving permalinks 
   and I cant seem to find a viable solution.
 * I have changed my permalink strucure to /%postname%/ and I get the 404 error.
   Even the new posts dont change to the new structure. For some reason it still
   defaults to the post id format.
 * So before you scream at me this is what I have done already:
 * 1.I have an .htaccess file, its the root directory, and it has the wordpress 
   rules written to it already
 * 2.I have the permissions for .htaccess set to 666 as well.
 * 3.I have upgraded to 2.0.5 so all the important files are there.
 * I cant flush out the rewrite table cause I cant seem to find it.
 * I followed the advice in these pages to no avail:
    [http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/569](http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/569)
 * [http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2850](http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2850)
 * Nothing seems to work. Is there one answer that actually works?

 * Well, there’s more troubleshooting at the [Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Permalinks)
   page.
 * Have you confirmed with your host that mod_rewrite -and- AllowOverride are on
   and enabled?

 * I thought I already had the permissions modified but then after opening a ticket
   with my host provider it turned out that my .htaccess file was not enabled.
 * Its now enabled and the permalinks work. Thanks.
