Wordpress url shows page not found on localhost, but online its fine

Question

I have installed wordpress, now the http://localhost/wp-login.php and the likes are okay. Assuming that I want to go to a page such such as http://localhost/something-here/ gives me a 404 error. This 404 error happens only on localhost not on a live server.

What is the reason for this.

Thanks Jean

hmm assuming no, since I am short of time, how do I get i enable it, I am using a wamp — X10nD, Jan 05 '11 at 11:08

Try flushing your URLs: go to Settings → Permalinks → Update.

The flushing will not work, its some settings in the php.ini or the httpd.conf – X10nD Jan 05 '11 at 19:57

In WAMP what you can do is go to WAMP icon in the system tray > Apache > Apache Modules > Tick the rewrite_module.

If you are using wamp, click on the wamp icon and: Apache > Apache Modules > ensure rewrite_module is ticked.
