moose123Hello,
I am mod_rewrite challenged, so please forgive my ignorance.
I am running WPMu 1.3 and am trying to activate permalinks for the first time on one particular blog (http://mysite/blog2).
I want to create a pretty permalink to a particular category of posts and make it a direct link from the theme's page links.
I created a custom base for my category:
http://mysite/blog2/category/Video/
...and copied and pasted the mod_rewrite code from the permalink page into my .htaccess file. The result was an Apache 500 error. I removed the code from .htaccess and my site is back up but I now have the "You should update your .htaccess now" message in my permalink page.
My .htaccess file looks like this:
------------------------------
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
------------------------------
Can someone suggest what I might be doing wrong?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
