Strange issue with new/old post link in wordpress

Question

I am having a issue with wordpress older post link in posts listing page.The wordpress version is 3.8.3.

When I am changing the permalink to default one then it works.But when I change it to custom structure ie /%category%/%postname%/ then onclicking the older post link it takes me to 'page not found'

I have absolutely no clue where the problem is happening.

For eg if the url is

http://localhost/folder/?cat=6&paged=2

The above url works.

But http://localhost/folder/catname/page/2/ //it doesn't work

Solved

You need to update your .htaccess file to make that permalinks work.
