Like other people, I'm having problems getting pretty permalinks to work in WP. (default ones work fine)
My setup is as follows:
wp 3.0.4
xampp for windows 1.7.3
windows 7
I've tried changing the httpd.conf so it now says AllowOverride All in the right places and I've checked that mod_rewrite is running (and it is).
Basically i did everything as written here: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/03/08/wordpress-permalinks-does-not-work-in-xampp-setup/
It hasn't worked. I get 404 object not found errors.
I have an .htaccess file that I've tried to make writeable, to no success, so i copy and paste the WP code into it when i try and activate permalinks.
No thing has worked.
I'm now wondering if it is anything to do with the fact that I have also set up virtual hosts (as i have several wp sites i need to develop).
I followed the instructions here: http://ailoo.net/2008/07/set-up-multiple-virtual-hosts-on-xampp-for-windows/
Virtual hosts works fine.
Now when i look at my error log when i try to activate permalinks in wp i'm seeing this line:
[Tue Jan 11 12:50:15 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: X:/_projects/xampp_sites/mysite/xampp
Which makes me think that because I've got virtual hosts, the permalinks is trying to access seomthing that is not there.
Any suggestions please - i need virtual hosts AND permalinks to work, otherwise it's impossible to locally develop wp sites
thanks in advance
