Win 7- Wamp -WordPress-Filezilla configured accordingly - Permalinks still won't work?
hello, I hope some one can help me, I have done everything I can think of and still I get the same problem.
I followed this to install wordpress on wamp.
[
make.wordpress.org].
I checked re-write module and looked in the http.conf to confirm it was un-hashed.
Also, it appears WordPress creates a .htaccess file automatically in the wp folder and this is its contents:
# 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
I set permalinks [
mywpsite] and it still throws up a 404 not found page
"Not Found
The requested URL /about/ was not found on this server."
In terms of setting permissions, chmod .htaccess, I am on a windows 7 and use FileZilla to transfer files to and from my host. CHMOD is a command used on UNIX OS which means it's not supported on Windows. If i try to change the permission using filezilla, I get the "504 command not implemented for that parameter" message. Aside from chmodding .htaccess, I don't know any other way of changing its permissions.
I am beside myself because I cannot get this permalink thing down.
I would really appreciate any help.
