Hi Ken,

1. Yes, mod_rewrite is enabled in Apache.
2. I am using the following rewrite block:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteBase /
        RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Now, in WP, I have posts, which are placed under Categories. When you click on an item, you get it dispalced as http://site.name/?p=68 and this is what I want to change. I need http://site.name/sample-post/ instead of http://site.name/?p=123

Two things to check first.

1.  is mod_rewite enabled?
2. Is .htaccess RewriteBase property pointing to the right path?

I could do with some help on WP.

Basically, I want to use the permalinks feature. I have googled and read, but I am not getting there. Making some change for the permanlinks ends up breaking the links on my page.
