Permalinks don’t work

    Hi
    Based on my understanding of permalinks on codex I did the following and had problems

    I created a page “Test” with page slug as “test”. *After* this I went to options-> Permalinks and set it us as
    Structure: /
    Category base:

    (Category base: is null) and updated permalink structure.

    I then tried to access the page as http://localhost/wordpress/test and got a page not found error. (Even when I try to view the page from the admin panel I get the same error)

    (My .htacess has permission 666)

    Thanks,
    Sumit

    / is not an approved permalink tag. Your permalinks are set once and only once. For instructions on how to use permalinks, read every word in Options/Permalinks. For a list of approved tags, see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

    If you would like to quickly embark on a small understanding of permalinks, leave the category base blank and enter this for the structure:

    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    I tried the above structure: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
    and category base as blank

    I then created a new post and tried to view it and again got the same error.

    (I changed my httpd.conf (to allow override) and restarted both mysld and httpd)

    Once I set the structure to blank in permalinks all my posts and page become accesible.

    Thanks,
    Sumit
