  1. You trying to rewrite the url two times:

    1. .htaccess file
    2. WP Permalink settings

    Get rid of your .htaccess file
    (or comment first line)

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase ./
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . ./index.php [L]
</IfModule>

    hope this will help.

  2. Finally I figured out the problem it is because of the home entry in wp_options table.

    The home value is set as ./ I dont know how it got set. When I delete it the Permalinks works perfectly. No my home entry is Blank “”

    Hope it helps some one..
