 * hey everbody, i’m fairly new to word press, but have been developing in php for
   2 years. I’ve recently been playing with mod_rewrite but it never works. Now 
   that i installed WP and tryed to get it working VIA the admin section it still
   won’t work. i have wp_list_pages listing the pages and when i click on them it
   just says page not found. Oh yeah, and i’m doing this all on local host. My .
   htaccess file is writeable, and wp inserted the code into it. I have tryed putting
   it in the main wordpress folder and in my templates main folder. where is the
   correct folder to put it in?
 * so i think it might be a problem with my localhost. can anybody throw ideas at
   me, to get it working. Even if there completely noob ideas, i wouldn’t rule anything
   out lol.

 * 1. This is not really the place to ask server administration questions. (possible
   mod_rewrite is not enabled)
    2. The .htaccess file’s place is in the WP’s main
   folder.

 * i know, i don’t really know where else to post this question sorry. Is there 
   a better place?
 * and yes mod_rewrite is enabled….as least i think it is
 * LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/httpd/mod_rewrite.so
    AddModule mod_rewrite.
