hi guys!
i'm a bit rookie, and i have been making a website for a relative of mine. So, before putting it online, i have made a local server (with xammp) and i run it from there....
in that server i have placed and other local websites and they work fine...
now, for this specific website, i have installed the latest worpress version, and i have added a theme... i've also made a few pages, and it all works fine... BUT, when i go to the tab to choose to get pretty permalinks, then worpress imediately creates the .htaccess file (which it didn't exist before...) and it blocks my server (error 500... Apache/2.4.4 (Win32) OpenSSL/0.9.8y PHP/5.4.19)
the htaccess that gets created appear like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule># END WordPress
which seems fine... i guess...
and also i have checked with the server that in the "apache/conf/httpd.conf" the overwrite module is not commented out...
what should i do?? do you have any ideas?
thanks in advance!
PS: if i delete the .htaccess, the home page works fine, BUT the other pages that now have a pretty permalink (eg. website.com/getting-started/), give me a 404 error...
