w3 total cache: fancy permalinks code missing

    I upgraded WordPress to the latest version, disabled WP Super cache (tried to delete but got a cryptic error about something needing to be in the right directory), installed W3 Total Cache, and on the configuration page saw a warning “The required directives for fancy permalinks could not be detected, please confirm they are available.” I tried links to my blog posts (from an RSS feed) and none worked (404 errors); I immediately disabled the plugin, everything worked again, but without it enabled I can’t access the configuration page.

    My .htaccess file is blank – two years ago I put all the required directives into the httpd.conf file (I assume they haven’t changed):
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /today/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /today/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    Any advice for how to get this plugin to work with our configuration? Do I need to move the WordPress code back to the .htaccess file? Are there settings I can change (but without trial and error; I want to minimize downtime)?
