On WordPress’ page about using permalinks, it gives steps to enable “pretty” permalinks. I have non-shell hosting account at 1and1.com, and I had use only .htacceess to make it work. Even though the WordPress’ instruction says you have to set FileInfo directives allowed, but I found that it actually causes Internal Server 500 error.
I had the following piece of code in .htaccess, and now it’s working fine.
# BEGIN WordPress
Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Thanks a lot for this code. I was wondering what was wrong with my wordpress installation and you saved my life :-)
It definitely worked for me!
