   Whenever I press the preview button in the "edit post" area or click the preview link in the "posts" overview, it takes me to a url something like: http://daveabrahams.com/?p=105&preview=true but what I see there looks just like the site's home page, i.e. http://daveabrahams.com.

   I am using a custom permalink structure (/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/) but turning that off doesn't seem to have an impact. I am using multisite with domain mapping, but even the primary site (http://techarcana.net) and unmapped subdomains (e.g. http://ryppl.techarcana.net) show the same behavior.

   I'm almost at my wits' end on this one. Please help!

   Did you try disabling all the plugins?

   I used the preview function on a mapped domain in a 3.0 install - so I know it does work. ;)

   Yes, I tried disabling all the plugins. No joy.

   FWIW this site was upgraded from WPMU 2.x to WP 3.0 recently.

   Huge clue: if I change the permalink structure to using CGI variables (e.g. http://daveabrahams.com/?p=123), I can't actually view any published posts individually. So somehow, CGI variables aren't getting picked up.

   Turns out I had this rewrite rule in my lighttpd.conf, which was dropping the CGI vars:

   "." => "index.php"

   Actually I found several other rewrite problems upon careful inspection. My original rules came from http://blog.nifelheim.info/tech/2008/04/10/lighttpd-rewrite-rules-for-wordpress-mu/ (seems to be dead ATM).
