Still no solution for permalink 404 error on WordPress 2.6 version
Advertisements
When I thought of creating this blog and using wordpress as a Blogging Platform, the latest version of WordPress i.e. 2.6 was out.I had used 2.5version of WordPress earlier on my previous blog and was more than happy with that.So I had same expectations with this version also.
After installing it and and writing my first post,I thought of changing my permalink structure to make it Search-Engine Friendly.
But after saving the custom permalink structure – /%postname%/ ,I got “404 Page Not Found” error.Then I tried every option available there,but none were of help.When I kept it back to default i.e. “/?p=123", my blog was ok,no 404 errors.
I searched the wordpress.org forums for this and found this – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189058 . I tried the suggestions mentioned here,but still same error.
I also Googled it but there also no help.
I guess the programmers/bug fixers of the WordPress are either sleeping or are on long leave,as they have not fixed this bug yet which has been reported since such long period.
Still I am looking for the fix,donno whether I am going to fix it or not.

I think you need to update your .htaccess, I can’t remember off my mind what’s the code. Without it, you’ll have a 404 error.

Hello
Same problem with me. They say:
”
Permalinks work but no pages are returned
Some versions of PHP 4.4.x and 5.x have a bug that causes mod_rewrite to fail when used with some versions of Apache 2.x. More details at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35096 and http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35059.

Had a similar problem here. Actually if your site is hosted on Yahoo servers, you cannot use the Permalink > Custom option. Try switching over to another hosting server with Apache.
