title: How to make .htaccess writeable for wordpress?
body: <p>I have Wordpress running on a dedicated centos server with Buddypress installed . Buddypress requires pretty permalinks. Therefore I changed i to /%postname%.</p>
  
  <p>Somehow it did not work because Buddypress is not working correctly and Wordpress suggests to create the .htaccess myself :</p>
  
  <p><em>"If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all."</em></p>
  
  <p>I have tried every hint I found but somehow it does not work. Here is a list:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>mod_rewirte is enabled</li>
  <li>.htaccess was created and filled with wordpress suggested information</li>
  <li>.htaccess was set to chmod 777</li>
  <li>FollowSymLinks and AllowOverride All was set in the httpd.conf</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Is there anything else I can do?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in Advance</p>
