If an error 404 occurs when using the Pretty Permalink choices such as Day and Name in Administration > Settings > Permalinks it could be a result of the mod_rewrite module not being activated/installed. The solution is to activate mod_rewrite for the Apache web-server. Check the apache\conf\httpd.conf file for the line `# LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so and delete the # in front of the line. Then stop Apache and start it again. Note: you may have to ask your host to activate mod_rewrite. See also: • Using Permalinks Relevant discussion thread: • http://wordpress.
