Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: permalinks, .htaccess, and broken everything!Thanks, Handy, but as I understand it, .htaccess already isn’t writable, that’s what’s causing all the problems.
Actually, there isn’t even an .htaccess file in the folder to begin with until WP generates one and then it gets all fubar…

In reply to: permalinks, .htaccess, and broken everything!Can someone help please? This simple bug is so annoying, I’m ready to do myself in…
Here’s my problem again: When I change the permalinks, .htaccess is changed. But my host has .htaccess protected, so when I change permalinks, it shuts my whole site down.
In order for .htaccess to be changed, my host needs the RewriteRules so they can put them in. The RewriteRules are generated in the .htaccess file when permalinks are changed, but since everything shuts down, I can’t see what the RewriteRules are to give to my host. Catch-22.
Can someone please, please give me the RewriteRules so my site works? Thanks!

In reply to: permalinks, .htaccess, and broken everything!So I can’t get the rewrite rules because this bug keeps me out.
Could someone post the rewrite rules?

In reply to: permalinks, .htaccess, and broken everything!It doesn’t go back to the way it was for me.
Samboll, thanks for the tip! However, the instant I hit “update” I get the error message and everything breaks, so I’m not able to see the Rules.
Could someone give them to me? I’m looking for year/post name.

In reply to: permalinks, .htaccess, and broken everything!Here’s what my service provider says:
<b>That error is because we don’t allow RewriteRules in individual .htaccess files. When you change your permalinks, WordPress tries to add RewriteRules to your .htaccess file, which in turn gives an error since we don’t allow that.
We can add these rules to your server configuration file. All we’d need is a copy of the RewriteRules, which I believe your should be able to get from WordPress. Once we have those rules, we’ll add them to your site and you shouldn’t get the error anymore.
</b>Anyone know what the RewriteRules are? I can’t seem to locate them in WordPress…

In reply to: permalinks, .htaccess, and broken everything!I’m using Host My Site and the index trick didn’t work for me =(
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: permalinks, .htaccess, and broken everything!I have the same problem — fresh install, change the permalink and, bam, everything is broken. Only when I delete .htaccess is the site even viewable, but permalinks remain broken. Do I need to somehow hack the basic install?
