    Hi guys,

    I’m working on a new version of this Slovakian website http://www.pneumatiky-pneupex.sk/ which will be based on WordPress. Everything seems to be fine, but I can’t get my head around pretty URLs. Rewrite_url is allowed, rights are 777, but anytime I change the permalink style to any other than default I get access denied to the whole website. I can’t get even to wp-admin, everything is denied and I have to delete and install wordpress again. I’m sure the problem lays somewhere in apache configuration, but I think I tried everything with no success. Any help would be strongly appreciated.

    Pretty Permalinks requires the Apache module mod_rewrite. Most hosts will have this installed but you can test it by adding RewriteEngine on to your .htaccess file…if you get a server error then it is not installed.

    You can read more about permalinks here.

    If you get ‘locked out’ you can rename .htaccess – I usually just add a period to the end of the file name and the server will ignore it and you will be able to access your site again 🙂

    Thanks for the tip with .htaccess. Mod_rewrite is definitely allowed on the server, that’s why I don’t understand the reason of this :/

    Thank for the tip with .htaccess! That will be useful for this project :D. Yes, mod_rewrite is turned on… that’s the reason why I don’t get it :/

    What is the contents of your .htaccess? can u list it? Are you running any plugins?
