mod_rewrite on godaddy with wordpress
Submitted by User ProfileJason on 12:42am, Saturday, 2005-02-19
I've got the Wordpress blogging software up on my hosting service (godaddy.com) However, I would like to be able to the "permalink" feature, but I cannot figure out how to get mod_rewrite to work. So far, I've tried putting up a .htaccess file on the root of my server that contains only: RewriteEngine on But, this still does not work. I get a 404 error. Wordpress is installed in a subdirectory "main" Any advice? Thanks

Just thought I would post a followup on this issue. After getting mod_rewrite and Wordpress to work I discovered that with godaddy you cannot mod_rewrite any files with a .php extension. (You can rewrite TO a .php file but not FROM) Apparently this is "unsupported" (read: we don't want to bother fixing the problem) So, I have switched to another hosting provider: [url=http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=8677392]1and1.com.[/url] So far, they seem to be really good. I haven't had to deal with their tech support yet, but that's because everything just works as it should! -- Jason [url=http://www.yorkspace.com]yorkspace.com[/url]
