# Permalinks help?

 * Hi all,
    Been having problems…I’d like to permalink something attached to the
   main page. However, I cannot make permalinks work. I have httpd-2.0.40-21.9.i386.
   rpm installed on my redhat9 system which means mod_rewrite is installed…so that’s
   not the problem. For some reason it just isn’t working. Any tips on or a quick
   how-to would help out greatly! Thanks for the help! TKS

 * Did you turn it on from the WP Admin screen?
    As for tellin if mod-rewrite is
   on, create a file that contains the following line: `<?php phpinfo(); ?>` Save
   it, uplaod it then navigate right to that file. There’s a section in there somewhere,
   that will tell you what modules are loaded anf if mod_rewrite is possible. TG

 * Yep. Turned it on from the WP Admin Screen. Testing the mod_rewrite….I don’t 
   see anything there…I’ll leave it for now. The url: [http://www.tksbox.net/file.php](http://www.tksbox.net/file.php)

 * Hmmm….. not seeing it pop out to me. What is the contents of your .htaccess file?
   maybe the bug is in there.
