thats why i deleted it again…
It’s likely a mod_rewrite issue. Paste in your rewrite rules from the .htaccess file and people may be able to help.

That would be a problem. A .htaccess file should have been created. I’m using v1.2.1, so I can’t be of any help but telling you what’s wrong. Anyone else?
Sure, here is the “solution”! Read it very, very carefully – the first and the second post!

hm… i’m having the same problem… once i activated permalinks, a click on any post returns a 404 even though mod_rewrite is activated… any ideas?
here’s my .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp/
RewriteRule ^archives/category/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp/wp-feed.php?category_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/category/?(.*) /wp/index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/author/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp/wp-feed.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/author/?(.*) /wp/index.php?author_name=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /wp/index.php?name=$1&page=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/([_0-9a-z-]+)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp/wp-feed.php?name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/([_0-9a-z-]+)/trackback/?$ /wp/wp-trackback.php?name=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wp/wp-feed.php?feed=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^comments/feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wp/wp-feed.php?feed=$1&withcomments=1 [QSA]

Is there a reason why a server would not create a .htaccess?
can I add it manually?
1.3 writes a .htaccess if the file is writable
1.2 does not – you need to add the file and contents using ftp.

I deleted everything (including database), installed 1.3 and everything is fine.
