 * Hi there,
 * This is a bit frustrating. I’ve already searched these forums and other websites
   and applied various solutions, including the /index.php/2009/… rewrite.php solution,
   to no avail.
 * Here is what happens:
 * When setting a custom permalink, the resulting URLs return a 404 error.
 * Here is the information in the .htaccess file:
 * # 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
 * This file currently has a chmod of 666. I’ve tried it with 777 as well.
 * The server environment is:
 * Apache 2.2.3 (Red Hat)
    PHP 5.1.6 MySQL 5.0.45 WordPress 2.7.1
 * And mod_rewrite is installed and active, according to the server admin.
 * Here’s a list of all the other modules loaded into Apache right now (taken from
   a phpinfo() call):
    core prefork http_core mod_so mod_auth_basic mod_auth_digest
   mod_authn_file mod_authn_alias mod_authn_anon mod_authn_dbm mod_authn_default
   mod_authz_host mod_authz_user mod_authz_owner mod_authz_groupfile mod_authz_dbm
   mod_authz_default util_ldap mod_authnz_ldap mod_include mod_log_config mod_logio
   mod_env mod_ext_filter mod_mime_magic mod_expires mod_deflate mod_headers mod_usertrack
   mod_setenvif mod_mime mod_dav mod_status mod_autoindex mod_info mod_dav_fs mod_vhost_alias
   mod_negotiation mod_dir mod_actions mod_speling mod_userdir mod_alias mod_rewrite
   mod_proxy mod_proxy_balancer mod_proxy_ftp mod_proxy_http mod_proxy_connect mod_cache
   mod_suexec mod_disk_cache mod_file_cache mod_mem_cache mod_cgi mod_version mod_perl
   mod_php5 mod_proxy_ajp mod_python mod_ssl
 * I’ve tried switching to the default theme and turning off all plugins. Still,
   the permalinks have not worked.
 * Any ideas? Any help is tremendously appreciated!

 * Have you checked the URLs at the top of your posts and pages to ensure these 
   have changed accordingly?
