I've tried creating a copy of my site using a sql dump and importing this to a new set-up. The problem is that although my homepage works ok, I get 404 for all the other pages, although I can see them all in Wordpress. I have tried re-saving the permalink structure, mod_rewrite is enabled. Wordpress can save .htaccess. I've Googled this and not found any further clues as to how to fix it.

# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress

Can you get to the pages if you set your permalink structure to the default structure? – m0r7if3r Feb 9 '12 at 11:50
Yes I can indeed – Tony B Feb 9 '12 at 12:56
But any rewrite structure breaks them? Or just postnames? What are your site and wordpress urls set to in Settings->General? – m0r7if3r Feb 9 '12 at 13:03
Anything but the default fails. I had it set to postname but anything other than domain.xxx.xx/?p=123 fails. – Tony B Feb 9 '12 at 13:47
Can you post your .htaccess (change from the default post type to your desired post type first) – m0r7if3r Feb 9 '12 at 13:49

Try adding:

Options +FollowSymLinks

to the top of your .htaccess file.
