The Wordpress Loop

I have installed wordpress localy and copied the project files into my theme folder. Also I have changed the permalinks to "postname". But when I create a page other then the sample page I get this message:

Not Found

The requested URL /blog was not found on this server.

Any idea why this is? I have added a .htaccess file:

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

Thanks for any help.

Have you updated your permalinks after adding the .htaccess file? Also, is the .htaccess file in the site root or wordpress root?
