    i was advised to try a trick and it worked out:

    make a copy of the entire wp stuff and put it in a new folder so that wp will automatically generate a new .htaccess (for both root and this new dir) without falling into the loop…

    hope it helps!

    Following Skippy’s suggestions to timothy15 on “Permalinks mess”:

    If you can now access your permalinks page, delete any permalink structure defined there, and click Save. That should blank your .htaccess. (my result –> CRASH for the 100th times)

    Or, create a blank .htaccess and remove write permission to it. In this way, WordPress will be unable to automatically add rewrite rules. (my result –> a 404 Not Found error)

    And even if I delete the .htaccess file it automatically generates itself according to the wrong permanent structure, every attempts to update cause CRASHES. so i delete .htaccess again and the loop keeps going endlessly.

    how can i eliminate the WRONG permanent structure and stop wp from generating the WRONG .htaccess? pls kindly help.

    I’m in the same loop as timothy15. painful. if i remove permission of wp to generate the wrong-structured-.htaccess, the 404 not found error comes up depressingly. Please please help!

    i’ve followed ur instruction and my blog comes up again! just that the permalinks and comments are in the wrong format (because of that single tiny typo) so i’ve tried to fix the permalink structure at the ‘Option’ section, but everytime i try to click ‘update’ the same old crash happens and i have to re-install a new .htaccess again…. what’s wrong? how can i save things from the shadow of that typo??

    thanks a lot!

    I’ve copied it to my local server but then should i change anything of it before re-installation?
