Internal Server Error After Changing Permalink?

[Ellesse]

Hi All,

After changing the default permalinks to custom ones

/%post_id%/%postname%/

I got Internal Server Error when trying to click some of my posts. If I revert the permalinks to the defaults ones provided by Wordpress, there is no such problem. Btw, I am using the adsense ready template and would appreciate if someone can enlighten if I did anything wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ellesse,

I can do a check for you, but before that, have you:

1) Set the correct CHMOD for your .htaccess files?
2) Did you install on the domain inself, a subfolder or subdomain?
3) Can you check the code you've entered, if there are any spaces or missing any characters?

Hi GK,

Answers to your queries:

1) Set the correct CHMOD for your .htaccess files?
Tried both 666 and 777 but it still have the error.

2) Did you install on the domain inself, a subfolder or subdomain?
The domain

3) Can you check the code you've entered, if there are any spaces or missing any characters?
Yes. No blank spaces.

I've PM you my website url as well as login (details). Please help me take a look.

Hi gk and ellese
I also had the same problem. So what did you do with the corrupted htacces file. I also would like to know. Thanks

Hi Kamarul,

What GK advised me to do is to create an empty text file and rename it as .htaccess and upload to my site.

Then, I reactivated the permalink structure and waited for about 2-5 minutes for the system to refresh.

Try it and see if it works. Otherwise, you might want to raise a problem ticket.

Cheers,

Hi ellese,

So if gk advised you like that, I also wanna get try. Because last time I changed the permalink structure as advised by gk, after I click my About tab then appear Error 404. Thanks ellese.

Kamarul, my .htacess file was corrupted because I customised it before . Yours may be a different problem.. but no harm trying...

Did you delete the old file before upload the new one?? Sometimes the over-writing process doesnt work well..
