[edit] Manually Enabling Permalinks
Things you need to check
- Mod-rewrite is enabled on your linux/apache

<Directory {Directory Here}>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
- HT Access is enabled on your root / site directory
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Note: If you are installing your blog on a sub directory then you need to change the paths above from "/" to "/{Your-New-Blog-Path}/" or else it won't work.
