12,529 PointsStruggling to sort out permalink settings
I'm having real problems here, tried everything suggested here https://teamtreehouse.com/community/permalink-settings-2 but things have got messy.
I'm using xampp on windows, have enabled the rewrite module.
Current situation, things work fine when permalink settings are set to plain but i'm getting a 404 on all the other settings.
What's messy? Well, when i'm getting the 404 it's pulling everything in from another wp install i have in a different directory in htdocs and displaying the 404 as post/page content......Obviously this looks nicer than the normal 404 page but not really what i'm after haha.
I'm assuming this means i have a problem with the xampp server but I can't work out what's going on here....
From poking around it seems the .htaccess file is updated when permalink settings changes are saved.... is this right?
Any help would be much appreciated!!!
