I have been banging my head for days to make this working. No matter what i did only the default permalinks worked and the custom or other options wasnt working and everytime i was getting page not found 404 error. I did use WAMP and Xampp with wordpress 3.x to make this work…
I want the custom permalinks with rewritten as
Custom Permalinks: /%category%/%postname%/
instead of
Default: http://corpocrat.com/?p=123
Thankfully, it worked for me with the simplest of fixes. The mod_rewrite module was not enabled on my httpd.conf which is why the wordpress gave 404 error. I opened up httpd.conf and uncommented the mod_rewrite.so and guess what EUREKA! IT WORKED!
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
