Description Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2011-07-16 11:31:51 UTC
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>
