I had a slight problem when installing this wordpress on my server. I realised that the .htaccess file just isn’t working properly.

After a quick check on my httpd.conf, it seemed that apache just wouldn’t parse the .htaccess file inside my wordpress folder.

A very fast way to solve the problem is to open the httpd.conf file and add these lines (configure the path based on your server setting. Mine was “/usr/local/apache/htdocs/wordpress”) :

<Directory “/usr/local/apache/htdocs/wordpress”>
AllowOverride Options FileInfo
</Directory>

Also, remember to restart your apache server for the new setting to take effect.

I learned it.
