no .htaccess file, but pretty links work... (4 posts)

    What does it mean when I can click the different options for permalinks, they all work, but even a
    find . -name .htaccess -print
    at the document root doesn't list any .htaccess files.

    I am totally confused. It seems like WPMU has some internal rewrite that always get used. Is that what is happenning?

    I'm using a subdomain install. I have WPMU 1.3.3.

    Thanks for your time.

    the .htaccess has nothing to do with the subdomains working or not working, all you have to do is setup a wildcard DNS.

    But WHY do pretty URL's work, if there's NO .htaccess file? How can they work without an .htaccess file?

    I dont know, but in my environment, they do.

    Whats up with that?

    Ever wondered why "pretty links" work when you stick WPMU on lighttpd, when lighttpd doesn't even support .htaccess files?

    Ah the magic of wordpress!
