Weird Permalinks Problem

    I am having a weird permalinks problem with WordPress 3.1.3 running on Zend Server 5.01. Mod_rewrite is definitely enabled on the Apache server, but permalinks are just not working. WordPress is in a sub-directory under the Apache root directory. No matter how I try to configure permalinks, the hyperlinks render in the menus (etc.) exactly the same way as http://localhost/<sub-directoryname>/<post or pagename>. All the rest of the stuff that should be there isn’t. That is, instead of, say:
    http://localhost/subdirectory/2011/03/postname
    the link is instead rendered in, say, the menus, as:
    http://localhost/subdirectory/postname

    I have searched here for posts that might deal with exactly the same problem, but could not find any.

    Anyone got any ideas about what might be causing the problem and how to fix it?
    Thanks much!

    By the way, there also seems to be no problem with WordPress writing the .htaccess file when I try to enable permalinks, either. Turning on permalinks results in the following being put into the .htaccess file in the sub directory where WordPress is installed:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /wpsubdirectory/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /wpsubdirectory/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    Just on the hunch that it might be a problem with the sub-directory position, I tried putting a copy of the .htaccess file in the Apache root directory, too, but that did nothing noticeable to fix the problem.

    All the best,

    Oh, and just in case it might be relevant, the theme I am using is a Genesis child theme.
