 * Hi Team,
 * I have exhausted all my knowledge on the htaccess problem I am having. When I
   set my permalink settings to default, I have my blogs working. When I switch 
   it back to “Day and name” I get the standard page not found.
 * I have added/removed/deleted the .htaccess file multiple times and I am at a 
   lose.
 * “[http://dermamedspa.com/blog/](http://dermamedspa.com/blog/)“
 * Where is the .htaccess file supposed to be place. How can I quickly find extra.
   htaccess files that should be on the server…. help!

 * Your .htaccess file should be at the root folder of your blog:
    [http://dermamedspa.com/blog/.htaccess](http://dermamedspa.com/blog/.htaccess)
 * Do you get any errors at the top of the page when you change your Permalink Settings?

 * I have placed the .htaccess file there.
 * with the following code in it
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /blog/index.php/
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /blog/index.php/index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * But I still cannot see the posts… if I had hair I would pull it out!

 * Try switching back to the default theme (or another theme if you’re already using
   it) and see if you still get the same issue.

 * I am using windows. I don’t know what I did, but I ended up messing up the database
   reference, and after I fixed it everything seem to return to normal. Mind you,
   I removed every .htaccess file I could find on the site.
 * Thanks for all you help everyone. This one is now closed!
