    Hey there,

    few days back I have installed a wp blog at my site newgenresoft(dot)com. But when I tried to edit the permanent links to the date/postname format its popping out a 404 not found error. It’s working only in the default /?p=N format. Some one told me to change the permissions. I did it by changing my whole directory to 777 🙁 but it did not help me. Created an .htaccess file and edited wp-admin/includes/misc.php file. Don’t know what I exactly have to do for solving this.

    Thanks for your kind advices.

    Hi,

    Add this code in htaccess of your blog/site and have a check:

    # BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Replaced the code in .htaccess file to the above..

    (Actually there was not .htaccess file before. I created one and put inside my seoblog, not sure whether it is in the right place. My blog is at newgenresoft.com/seoblog/ and the .htaccess is inside /seoblog/

    But Still the error is there

    🙁 404 Not Found

    The requested document was not found on this server.

    You may want to read through this.

    Particularly this section, and the relative instructions for .htaccess that follow it.
