Hi,
I have Apache 2.2 (PHP5)(MySql 5.5) installed on my Win7 machine. It's a custom install without the use of xammp (or mammp) so my web pages live outside the htdocs and Apache folders in a folder called "webpages."
Within webpages is a folder called bigsurwebdesign (a website I'm building in a WordPress framework). Inside this folder is an index.php file that directs the address to the folder WordPress with all the appropriate files and folders for WP. Also, alongside this index.php file is an .htaccess file with the mod_rewrite permissions for Apache.
| Code: | # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /bigsurwebdesign/wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /bigsurwebdesign/wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress |
I also configured the hpptd.conf file removing the # sign and changed AllowOveride to "All" to give Apache permission to redirect urls which looks like this:
| Code: | | LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so |
| Code: | Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOveride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all

If you know WordPress you will understand I am trying to configure Permalinks to display "Pretty Permalinks" that makes sense to users in the address bar.
The problem I'm having is when I change the permalink structure setting to custom in WP | Code: | | http://localhost/wordpress /%category%/%postname%/ |
it's no longer able to find the URL even though the path in the address bar looks as it should: | Code: | | http://localhost/bigsurwebdesign/wordpress/uncategorized/hello-world/ |
but with the 404 error "Not Found."
I have another instance of WordPress on my host provider server and the custom "Pretty Permalinks" works fine. That's why I think this is a local Apache issue as they probably have their Apache server configured properly to accommodate WordPress.
I have tried configuring the .htaccess file 5 different ways with no results.
Can someone maybe steer me in the right direction. If I was setup for it I'd give you an address where you could look at the my local installation, but I'm not.
Any help, advice, reprimands, rebukes would be appreciated.
