 * I just did a fresh install of WordPress 2.6. I installed a few basic plugins 
   and then changed my permalinks. Now I’m getting a 404 error.
 * I’m hosting the site on my works webserver. I noticed that we didn’t have mod_rewrite
   enabled, so I went ahead and enabled it. It still didn’t fix the problem. I’ve
   tried all sorts of changes to the .htaccess file but nothing works. I even did
   what it said in the Permalink Sticky thread.
 * Here is how my .htaccess currently looks:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
   
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * What did I miss? My Google-Fu hasn’t given me anything. It’s just the same solutions
   regurgitated all over but they don’t fix it.

 * Alright, after more and more searching, I did find something that fixed it. I
   needed to change “Allow Override None” to “Allow Override All” in my Virtual 
   Host settings.

 * Yep, the server didn’t allow that obviously…
