Yup. changing the AllowOverride in httpd.conf in the section for /var/www/html to All (was None) and rebooted the httpd service did the trick for me. Thanks everyone!

You can find the “AllowOverride” directive either in your httpd.conf file for the entire apache setup, or if using it on a vhost, look for it in the vhost configuration file.

@Lantrix – same problem as you just outlined. Thx much.

Redhat via webmin and the staff there are pretty sloppy on httpd.conf file and there were some globals that I have to override on a per dir level.

Thanks again – u saved me a support ticket!

Thanks guys and dolls,
You helped me solve the problem.
I had no .htaccess file and found the contents on the Permalink tab / page in the WordPress configuration. Adding a .htaccess file solved it for me

I have exactly the same issue. I am new to wordpress and have the following in my .htaccess file

# BEGIN WordPress
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

I have set it to 666

I have my permalinks set at /%category%/%postname%/
I have my site hosted on 1and1

All my catagoy links get 404 errors !!

I have hardly slept from tyong to figure it out over the last 3 days.

Can anyone help ?
