    Check with your hosts that mod_rewrite is running on your server.

    Thanks esmi.

    But, yikes, they’re a Windows based server. So their top guy is investigating an emulator: http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/

    I’ll keep everyone posted.

    OK, so I tried this part and it worked. However, I now have a permalink structure that looks like this:

    http://www.chea-elks.org/index.php/major-project/donations

    Big Question: Will this hurt my SEO? Does Google fault me for this?

    From the Codex:
    … you can try PATHINFO permalinks; put index.php/ at the start of your custom permalink structure:

    /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    This option may not always work, especially in cases of WordPress running on IIS 6. To make this option work on IIS, add these 2 lines to a php.ini file and store that file in your webroot :

    cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1
    cgi.force_redirect = 0
