thanks guys for your help… but unfortunately my hosting provider doesn’t have mod_rewrite enabled 🙁
i checked that my windows server was not configured to php 5.0 so i did it
but it was still not working…
then i changed permalink to /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
and it worked 🙂
but this one still not working /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
actually… this is my second installlation for same domain. during my first installation, for some reason, XML sitemap was not generating and then i cleared everything, deleted domain, recreated domain, installled wordpress again
during my first installation, these permalinks were working and hence i had the copy of the .htaccess file
and same file i’ve uploaded to my new installation
blog is on windows server.
apart from posts, even about page, monthly archive page also doesn’t work… pls help
