 * Hi all,
 * I’m having problems with my permalink structure in firefox. What have I done.
   –
   Installed WP in **root/wordpress/** – copied the **index.php** to my **root**–
   changed the permalinks structure in wp – changed my site address URL into **[http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com)**
 * When i go to [http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com) I see mysite.com/
   wordpress and I get the “page cannot be found” message. However, it does work
   in Internet explorer.
 * **Please note**, that when i click an article “hello world!” the permalink structure
   does seem to work. The ony place it doens’t work i my root.
 * **.htaccess**
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * **index.php**
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
        * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
        *
        * @package WordPress
        */
   
       /**
        * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
        *
        * @var bool
        */
       define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
   
       /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
       require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
       ?>
       ```
