 * Hi
 * I have a blog which uses a category/subcategory/postname structure. Viewing posts
   via the domain/parentcategory/ and domain/parentcategory/subcategory/ work fine.
 * Links going directly to a specific post present me with a 404 error, i.e. domain/
   parentcategory/subcategory/postname/
 * The content of my .htaccess
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       ```
   
 * My permalink structure:
 * `/%category%/%postname%/`
 * I’ve tried deleting and rebuilding the htaccess file and resetting the permalink
   structure to default/re-submitting the permalink structure but I’m presented 
   with the same error.
 * I’ve also tried using different templates including the default one but to avail.
 * Does anyone have suggestions?
 * Thanks

 * Addendum :-
 * It seems all pages work under the default permalink structure, however all the
   post pages bring up a 404 when trying to use the date and name based structure,
   the numeric structure and any custom structure which suggests it may be a mod
   rewrite issue (incidently this is definitely enabled).

 * OK, solved for me.
 * I’m on a Red Hat LAMP box and it turned out to be getting into my httpd.config
   file and setting the proper permissions for AllowOverride.
 * I found the tricks here:
