#wordpress permalink wamp

There are many ways to set custom urls on wordpress , i have been trying to figure this out when using Wamp server. Here are a few simple steps:

Locate your apache httpd.conf file which would most probably reside under C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf

Edit using text editor and uncomment(remove # sign) the line  LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

In the same file locate Options FollowSymlinks and change the second line from  "AllowOverride none" to "AllowOverride all" if not already done

Save the file and restart all services under Wamp

Go to wordpress admin -> Settings -> Permalinks and choose your custom structure, like "postname"  http://localhost/wordpress-3.3/wordpress/sample-post/
