# Another permalink change problem

 * I’ve searched here and googled and find similar issues, but none of the prescriptions
   seem to fix it for me.
 * I have WP installed in a sub directory called /blog/
    I want to change from the
   non-pretty permalinks to something like /%category%/%postname%/
 * I’ve enabled mod-rewrite which fixed the 500 error i was getting, but now I get
   a 404 error.
    I think it’s something to do with the subdirectory. I’ve always
   had a domain redirect setup to direct from the base domain to /blog/ – maybe 
   that’s futzing with the permalinks? I’ve also got Dean’s PermalinksMigration 
   pluging activated, but it’s not helping.
 * Cheers

 * Yeah, I’ve already gone through a bunch of directions for .htaccess that i’ve
   found, but unfortunately none of them have fixed the problem. Any specific hints
   about .htaccess?

 * Googling, this seems to be a pretty common issue (at least not rare, anyway).
 * Anyone have any specific ideas as to what’s possibly going wrong?
