apache .htaccess permalink problem

I upgraded tonight to the “Duke” release – it is very fine ;-)) but I have problems with permalinks wich I didn’t have before.

I have Debian Sarge machine running apache2.

I want to customise the permalink stucture with the following:

/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

I create a .htaccess file that in the /wp root directory wich looks like:
————————-
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wp/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
</IfModule>
———————-
When I use the links I get apache2 404 error.

I checked with info.php and mod_rewrite is doing fine, so
i checked apache.

This is my site conf in apache:
——————————
DocumentRoot /home/rogopag/www/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory<
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# This directive allows us to have apache2’s default start page
# in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory “/usr/lib/cgi-bin”>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
ServerSignature On

Alias /doc/ “/usr/share/doc/”
<Directory “/usr/share/doc/”>
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>
——————————–

I tried to change the root and var directory settings to: AllowOverride All, but it gets me error 400 instead of 404.

Do someone have any clue about this problem?

Thanks. happy new year.
