Thanks a ton. The tip that changing your 404 on GoDaddy to the homepage will allow your custom .htaccess was key! I was able to get my permalinks and custom error page working thanks to your info.

Also fixed the problem for me.

If you are on GoDaddy:
1. USE LINUX!
Password emails, media uploads, and beautiful permalinks magically began working after I changed my account from Windows to Linux.
2. Disable the GoDaddy 404.
3. Google is your friend, you’re certain to come across some problems, but also bloggers who are happy to help you out.

Hi,
Is this hosted on a Windows plan/linux plan? Is there any way to get the permalinks to work on a windows plan?

Hey I was following your instructions and going MAD because it was going to the 404 error page ANYWAY (what?). Then I changed it to the index.php and it served the index.php page out as if it were a .txt page… what?

The answer was: I had Java Servlets/JSP turned on on the account. That was screwing everything up.

Don’t ask me, I know it makes no sense, but that was the problem. Your instructions now work perfectly.

THANKS!
