i am confused with wordpress permalink.....

ok

i was some changement with permalinks in wordpress options...

all thing was done but there is one message occured :--

You should update your .htaccess now.

If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file.


what the hell of that means???? what i do that now?

 

Pretty much it means if you don't know what that means you should not use it.

Seriously, some some hosting companies have problems with it's use. You may not be able to use it for that reason. I don't use it and I could.

 

you shuld read wordpress manual. i think you have to chmod .htacess to a different value

 

Hi Syvee,
As in most cases the .htaccess file on your server is not rewritable!
First goto your domain root and look for the file named '.htaccess'
But as in most cases it is an invisible file and you won't be able to find it!
Now from what you say it appears that you donot use htaccess that often! So do this ....
When you get that message stating


Copy whatever was in the box below that and save it as a notepad file on your desktop! Now upload this file on your server, right-click, select 'rename' (Or press F2) and rename this file to '.htaccess' (Note the dot before the name)
Once you are done, your permalinks will be enabled!
Hope it helps,
Abhishek

 

Change .htaccess to 777 temporary and hit on update permilinks, .htaccess will update automatically.

Now again make .htaccess to default rights.

 

Thanks for everone....

 

have you managed to make it work ?

 

If you run WordPress 2.0 then you only have to update .htaccess ONCE, if you make changes later, the contents would be the same anyway, so no need to copy and paste it again (or to leave .htaccess writable to everybody on that web host).

 

FileZilla FTP is great for managing permissions with a right-click.

Side note: It's also the best FTP program I've ever used.
