 * Hello there… i have a problem with setting up the permalink.
    After a fresh install
   of wordpress in my root dir, no plugins I went to permalinks and changed the 
   structure to /%postname%/. when I press the button to save the settings, the 
   css of the admin dashboard is gone and when I try to login I am getting the error
 * > You don’t have permission to access / on this server
 * WordPress is creating an htaccess file with this content:
 *     ```
       # 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
       ```
   
 * when I delete the htaccess file I am able to see the frontend, able to login 
   to backend but when I click on permalink the css of the admin dashboard is gone
   and when I try to login I am getting the error
 * > You don’t have permission to access / on this server
 * on one of my other sites it is working but the content of the htaccess file is:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * Is someone able to explain whats is wrong ?
    does this have something to do that
   I have made the install oder [http://www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com) and
   not domain.com ?
