Why are my pages linking to 404 pages using WordPress?

I made some pages in Wordpress and displayed a navigation so the user can click to go to those pages.

When you click on any of the links, other than the Home link, it will go to a 404 Page not Found Page and display a message as the one below:

The requested URL /new_mtt/about-us-2 was not found on this server.

I realized I don't have a page.php file. Do I need that in order to view pages other than the index?

Why are my pages not working correctly?

You most likely need to regenerate your permalinks -- that solves the problem around 90% of the time. Click on Settings, Permalink; then pick any option that's not selected, hit Save, pick the option you originally wanted again (likely a custom structure with %postname%), hit save again, and verify that it saved.

If it can't save, as with the previous answer, make sure you check that your .htaccess file has global write access.

There has to be a .htaccess-file in your Wordpress-directory. In there should be the rules for url rewriting. The problem could be: that file is missing, the file is corrupt or mod_rewrite is not allowed.
