    I am trying to have the seo permalinks for my new site ThemeStuff.com,
    and i just can't get it to work...
    It is returning a 404 not found, when accessing the urls...

    I don't know how it is working on w3b.in, which is hosted on the same server!!!

    Please help ! suggestions ? thoughts ?

    Edit : its working, had to wait for a couple of hours !!!

    Some hosts don't offer true .htaccess files, but rather parse the commands from those files every X minutes. Might have been your issue.

    Could it be your .htaccess in your /public_html directory. If that site is in a sub folder like this:
    /public_html(or htdocs)/~themestuff.com/

    /public_html/.htaccess is read before /public_html/~themestuff.com/.htaccess

    I have this problem on my site with modx. Access any other site, and enter the wrond url, you get a 500.

    If it still happens set wordpress to use index.php/ like so:
    http://themestuff.com/index.php/tag/hello/

    cthelight....i dont have any .htaccess in root html dirs...
    As aaron said it might have been issue of X minutes.
    But my host is godaddy...i doubt they have the x min system...
    i wonder if, anyone with godaddy experienced that!..

    I saw that it was fixed, I was offering a plausible reason for the delay.
