Wordpress Unable to use .htaccess
I’m in the process of setting up a new Wordpress site with a new hosting company. The shared environment is *unix-based and the support team confirmed that mod_rewrite module was enabled, but Wordpress still wouldn’t use the pretty Permalinks as expected.
Having a look through the Wordpress Codex site revealed that one of the causes could be that the hosting company might have disabled SERVER_SOFTWARE variable. I tried their instructions and hey-presto it worked.
So, if you are experiencing similar issues I urge you to read the instructions provided in the link.
