 * I have a big problem guys, i think its time to ask my wordpress problem here,
   I.T. forums doesnt know how to fix my problem.
    I have blog with a good traffic..
   that makes my current webhost to complain, they suggest to upgrade my current
   webhost account into a VPS to handle my traffic.
 * So my site is now using a VPS account, CP+ 3.1.1. as a site controller.., but
   i have a problem, when i restore my previous site post backups to this VPS account.
   PERMALINKS doesnt work anymore.. I dunno why.
 * I try everything… I have my .htaccess writable and chmod it into 777..
    i chmod
   also the following directories and files wp-content, themes, theme files, plugins,
   wp-config.php into 777. I check my httpd.conf , mod_rewrite is enable.. so whats
   the problem?
 * What must I do? heres the link from my VPS account [http://207.210.112.152/](http://207.210.112.152/)
   
   just check it out..
 * my permalinks from my category pages, and single page doesnt work.. i don’t want
   to use the default permalink index.php?w=123 type coz my current long file and
   customize permalink gives me a high ranking in google, yahoo etc.
 * Please help me.

 * What is the content of the .htaccess file? Have you tried updating the permalinks?

 * Much troubleshooting at the [Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Permalinks)
   page.
 * In particular, ensure your host has mod_rewrite and AllowOverrides probably on
   and enabled.
    Then make sure your .htaccess is being updated. Pay attention when
   on the Options -> Permalinks page: If WP can’t write to the file, it’ll tell 
   YOU want to add.

 * I’m facing the same with 2.1.2
 * Permalink changes from WordPress doesn’t work. Although the relevent files are
   writable, and WP shows “permission changed” message.

 * Well, it’s fixed now…
    But I need to go through mod_rewrite problem now then.

 * On servers I own/manage I’d do it in apache config.
 * If you don’t own the box, have your host check.
