Description of problem: out of the box, wordpress-3.1.4-1.el5 can not change the permalink settings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wordpress-3.1.4-1.el5 How reproducible: did not try Steps to Reproduce: 1. install wordpress on CentOS 5, it's dependencies and mysql-server 2. nail down mysql with /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation 3. follow /usr/share/doc/wordpress-3.1.4/README.fedora 4. change 'Common settings' from 'Default' to 'Month and name' at .../wp-admin/options-permalink.php Actual results: 'You should update your .htaccess now.' message Expected results: User changes setting in Web UI and the setting becomes effective without additional editing Additional info: My web foo is not strong enough to decide whether .htaccess or a change to /etc/httpd/conf.d/wordpress.conf is better. For now I have changed the latter to # cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/wordpress.conf Alias /wordpress /usr/share/wordpress <Directory /usr/share/wordpress> AllowOverride Options <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /wordpress/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L] </IfModule> </Directory>
