Using WordPress permalinks with localhost
Tags: localhost, permalinks, wordpress

I’ve changed the permalink structure on this site, using the Settings tab. It automatically creates an .htaccess file for you.
Today, I wanted to set up a fresh installation of this site on my local server, which is WAMP. It just wasn’t having it, so I looked into the WAMP settings. This would also work on other Apache bundles, I believe:
Open your httpd.conf and search for the following lines:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
…uncomment it (remove the hash), and then find:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
…and make sure AllowOverride is set to All, as above. Sorted.
