# Permalinks & 404 Errors

 * Hi all!
 * I’ve read all the most recent posts concerning permalinks management and related
   errors but none of them helped me resolving my strange issue.
 * First of all, this is the current configuration of the server that is hosting
   my domain:
    – Apache 2.0 – Linux – PHP 4.4.7 – WordPress 2.3.1 The rewrite module
   is enabled and htaccess is fully supported (on the same domain I am using custom
   error pages without any kind of problem). My WordPress is installed in the /blog/
   subdirectory but the main page is showing on the domain root (in which I have
   properly placed the index.php after configuring the general settings about URL
   addresses).
 * I’ve selected a custom permalink structure for my brand new installation: /%category%/%
   postname%/. The htaccess has been successfully built and its CHMOD is 644:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * The problem is that all the permalinks of my blog are returning me a 404 error
   when I browse it with Internet Explorer 7 (upgraded with lastest patches). With
   Mozilla Firefox I can see the pages without problems as if permalinks were properly
   working.
 * It’s just incredible, and I can’t find a solution. I’ve tried to follow all the
   fixes proposed in this forum and I’ve also tried to modify the htaccess including
   the subdirectory:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /blog/
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * But the server was returning me an internal error.
 * If you want to test this issue, you can visit my homepage [here](http://www.zarathos.net/)
   and try with RSS links at the end of the page (that still need to be finished).
   However… any idea?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Try changing this to your permalink structure to:
 * /blog/%category%/%postname%/

 * As always, that’s working good with Mozilla but not with IE.
