so, any news?

you don’t happen to be using Anhosting do you? heh.

adding the php_flag stuff gives me an internal server error, so for now im just jumping into phpmyadmin every 10 minutes to change the string while im setting up all the pages and content. a minor change to a page or order in which the pages have to be displayed will set the string back to s:12.

sweet, where do i set those? you dont have to change the
a:63:{s:11:"robots.txt$";.......
part when you do this?

thank you smrtalex. I edited the info in the phpmyadmin value.
haha, after some testing i realized that posts still do not work, (sorry for linking my site, will remove if needed):

http://www.signaturestop.com/signaturetutorials/hello-world/

this was the first post in the signaturetutorials category, and gives a 404. however, if i want to view all posts in a certain category:

http://www.signaturestop.com/category/signaturetutorials/

does work!! this link used to be http://www.signaturestop.com/?cat=4 and now automatically redirects to the rewritten link

so it worked to a certain extend, i still cannot view posts though. getting there! thanks for the help (going to bed now will check back tomorrow)

edit: it might not work because you used a different structure? I remember reading you used a Date structure whereas i am only using categoryname/postname (might be wrong on this its 4 am 🙂 )

Hey everyone,

I’m having the same problems as most of you seem to have. my custom structure is:
/%category%/%postname%/

just to make sure that it wasn’t server sided, I emailed my hosting service and this was the answer they provided:

Dear anhosting. I want to use my wordpress to create “Pretty Links”. The requirements for this however are:

# Apache web server with the mod_rewrite module installed
# In WordPress’s home directory,
* The FollowSymLinks option enabled
* FileInfo directives allowed (e.g. AllowOverride FileInfo, AllowOverride All)

Does my hosting plan meet these requirements?

to which they replied:

Hello,

Modrewrite and Fileinfo directives are enabled in the server.

I don’t have a wordpress 2.6.5 set up so i cannot use phpMyAdmin to fetch the values from the database.

As far as I know, all the settings are correct. WP made a .htacces file into which I edited the line options +followsymlinks in to see if it had any effect.

this is my htacces file.

options +followsymlinks

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

# END WordPress

/end rant, will keep checking back the topic and good luck to everyone with the same problem 🙂
