Hello everyone,
I have a WP install using a VPS and seem to been having some issues on how to fix a 404 error page I seem to get if I change the permalinks in WP admin. To anything other than the defaults.
Everything I have been researching up to know suggest the issue relies in fixing or modifying .htaccess to include the following directives:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
The question I have is will this change within .htaccess as it involves re-starting my server will it have any effect on the site I have installed. Meaning will data be lost or over written in the DB or Server?
Cheers,
.
