This is a server config issue.

What server software is it?

I don't know really. I don't have admin tool to monitor server. I just hava a ftp connexion link to upload my file. I ask to my hoster.

What happens when you go to Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and changing /index.php/%postname%/ to /%postname%/ and then saving?

When i change the /index.php/%postname%/ to /%postname%/ , the web site send a 404 error.

@Simon Prosser The server is IIS the windows one not apache. But i don't have configuration tools to it

Then you need to talk to your host.

You think my problem is about web server configuration ? What i have to tell him: just my permalink are not good ? Or something else ?

Thanks

Hi,

When you remove /index.php from your permalink structure, all your posts/pages will have index.php removed also. This will mean that if you navigate to any of your posts/pages and the link contains index.php/ then its obviously going to lead to a 404 error, as there is no such post or page.

Try this please.

• Remove index.php/ from your permalinks, so you simply have /%postname%/, save your settings.
  
• Then go to Wordpress admin dashboard > Posts or Pages and then click on the view Post/Page link and see if this leads to a 404 error. If it does, then its most certainly a server configuration error.
  

If you do indeed continue to receive this error, then please contact your web host provider, as this is not related to PageLines.

@Danny I just make your test and always have 404 error from pages or posts display. I contact my host provider.

OK, thanks for trying and yes contacting your host provider is the best option, as this is an issue only they can resolve.
