Cannot save pages..

    I’ve installed WordPress on an Ubuntu 8.04 virtual private server, and it seems to work fine, except for one glaring problem.. I cannot save any pages created via Write/Page. I’ve checked permissions and the .htaccess file on the wordpress directory, and they appear to be ok. What happens is the page appears to be created, and after you publish the page, and try to view the page via Manage/View page, you get “file not found”, and the permalink showing on the top of the “write page” window, shows the page file being stored directly in the wordpress directory, however, I’ve configured the permalink as Day/Month, and based on what that page shows, I think it should be in wordpress/2008/11/22/pagename.. What am I missing here???

    Once you create the permalinks, it modifies the .htaccess file (it generally happens automatically but sometimes if you don’t have the right permissions then you need to write a small code manually.
    It comes up in the bottom of the permalinks page when you create it.

    Check this option.

    Thanks for the reply.. I understand about the permissions on .htaccess, and I’ve set them to 660, and I don’t get the warning when setting permalinks that I need to change them, such that I believe WP is setting them in .htaccess for me, however, despite that, I still get the published page permalink showing as http://myhost.com/wordpress/page, instead of the custom setting i’m trying to use which is the day/date permalink setting.. Even if I then hit publish on this page, the system does not save the page into http://myhost.com/wordpress, such that when I try to view the page, there is nothing there… What am I missing??
