title: Typing local Wordpress URL works, but clicking the same link does not
body: <p>Wordpress is installed locally on WAMP (win 7 x64) and the front page of my site loads fine when I type <a href="http://lc.loc" rel="nofollow">http://lc.loc</a>. However when I click the link to this URL on the loaded page, I am taken to a DNS fail page that downloads from my DNS host. All the links on the page that start with <a href="http://lc.loc/" rel="nofollow">http://lc.loc/</a> are broken in this way; if I type them into the address bar they work, if I click that same link on the page I get the DNS 'page not found' error.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried firefox, chrome and IE but the same thing happens in all of them.</p>
  
  <p>mod_rewrite is enabled, and the LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so line is uncommented in http.conf, as is Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf</p>
  
  <p>No .htaccess file was created by wordpress which could be the issue, but I believe I've enabled all the settings it requires to do this. I set the permissions of all the files in the www folder so that 'everyone' had full access. I also manually added an .htaccess file from a fresh wordpress installation I'd made on my shared hosting account, but this hasn't helped.</p>
  
  <p>Virtual host config in httpd-vhosts.conf:</p>
  
  <pre><code>NameVirtualHost *:80
  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
  ServerName lc.loc
  ServerAlias lc.loc
  DocumentRoot "e:/wamp/www/lc"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>I've tried changing the permalinks structure to post type, and while this does change the urls of the links successfully, clicking those links still fails in the way described.</p>
  
  <p>hosts file config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>127.0.0.1    lc.loc
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would really appreciate some help in solving this as I have no idea if it's a setting in apache, wordpress or elsewhere.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, Carl</p>
