    Hi All,

    I want to change the URL’s from the default to pretty permalinks. My custom structure in General->Settings->Permalinks is /%postname%/.

    The default “ugly” url’s work but when I change it to custom structure, I get the 404. This is the exact error message –
    ———-
    Not Found

    The requested URL /wordpress/about/ was not found on this server.
    Apache/2.0.58 (Win32) PHP/5.2.9-1 Server at localhost Port 80
    ———

    Please let me know if you had this issue and have resolved it.

    Thank you!!

    I suspect that your .htaccess file in the root of your wordpress install is not writeable. Change the permissions and then see if it works.

    Just checked the .htaccess file on wordpress root . It is writeable and the contents are –
    =========

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /wordpress/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress
    ===========

    Have you a link to your site that i could take a look at with the error?

    Is mod_rewrite enabled in the LoadModule directives (un-commented) in httpd.conf (you mentioned Apache2 on win32)?

    Here are some other considerations for proper operation of mod_rewrite.
