permalink structure: url archive problem

hi everybody
i’ve built a website locally using wamp with reasonable outcome but! when i run the entire website on my remote server i noticed that all the permalink was broken. so i’ve changed the permalink option with the same i’ve used during the local editing that is the date and post name option and i’ve fixed the problem for the most of the page but not for the archive ones. The reason is that the url needs the /index.php/ at the beginning so if i manually modify the url i could find the archive page

so http://www.mywebsite.xxx/index.php/2012 instead of http://www.mywebsite.xxx/2012

every think works perfect locally but what happen to my remote view?

Another thing i’ve noticed while i was trying to fix the problem selecting all the possible default options is that the default options for the permalink structure in the ‘local pannel’ are without /index.php/ at the beginning of the declaration while in the ‘remote panel’ is with /index.php/ at the beginning.

‘local pannel option’ /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
‘remote pannel option’ index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

so the difference between local/remote is the presence/absence of /index.php/ at the beginning of the declaration.

if i remove it from the declaration /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ in the ‘remote panel’ i can’t see any page of my website for 404 error alert.

on the contrary if i add /index.php/ before the permalink structure in the ‘local panel’ i could find all the page and the post (author and category, too) but not the archive as in the case of remote view of my website.

any suggestion?
thanks in advance
