If your owner:group and permissions settings are set correctly, WordPress should set permalinks automatically.

The default permalinks work fine, it is when set it to custom structure i.e. www.domain.com/contact

From the WordPress Dashboard, go to Settings => Permalinks. Do you have Custom Structure selected? What value have you set?

It's not enough to have: /. You need to use a Structure Tag | WordPress Codex.

I have the same problem here. Using the structure, say, example below

/%category%/%post_id%-%postname%

sent me to 404 error.

I use Webuzo as my panel.
