 * About permalinks/rewrite:
    CVS appears to be creating the ‘friendly URL’ for 
   the actual post (when clicking on post title). When clicking on the category 
   or archives links, however, I get a 404: The requested URL /wordpress/archives/
   category/general was not found on this server or 404:The requested URL /wordpress/
   archives/2003/12/ was not found on this server. One thing I did notice..when 
   setting up the permalink structure in the options page, you have to preface it
   with /wordpress/, because the rewrite rules being generated without it are attempting
   to access directories outside my root WP dir. (i.e. trying to get to [http://www.mysite.org/archives](http://www.mysite.org/archives)
   instead of mysite.org/wordpress/archives. Is this just a transitional thing, 
   or am I doing something wrong?

 * You do have to do the links relative to the site root. If you get a 404 it’s 
   probably because the mod_rewrite rules aren’t matching whatever you clicked. 
   Did you update them?

 * My site is at [http://wifetalks.com/wp.](http://wifetalks.com/wp.) I put in /
   archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ as my permalink structure. Then 
   I copied the output it gave and added it to my .htaccess file. Individual links
   are correct. Monthly and category archives try to go to [http://wifetalks.com/archives](http://wifetalks.com/archives)
   instead of /wp/archives/… But If I change the structure to /wp/archives/… then
   my individual entries come out with /wp/wp/archives/…
    How do I correct this 
   so that it works correctly?

 * I set up an add-on domain and used it to set up WP and all permalinks work. For
   some reason they don’t want to work for a subdirectory, but when WP is installed
   to a root directory, all permalinks work fine.

 * I get the same error. I ended up copying the .htaccess to root directory as a
   temporary fix.
