   Rather than watch apache spawn zillions of processes and tie my server up in knots, I have been looking for a way to run WordPress that enables the use of permalinks, which if course need a .htaccess file. After all, we are regularly told by SEO people to include the post name in the slug.

   Nginx is probably the front runner - anything that runs Facebook and WordPress.com must be pretty robust.

   So can the nginx Compatability plugin detect and permalink settings in some way?

   [I really don't know why the necessary redirect is not done in the coding rather than depend on .htaccess but there you are .....:-()

   No.

   Nginx is easy to configure for permalinks, anyway, as mentioned below

   location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; }

   This will not work on sub-directory install or on multi-site.
