 * I am a WordPress newbie!! Installation appears to have gone fine but when I make
   a test post and then click on the title (which I rather unimaginatively called“
   This is a title”) I get a 404 not found error trying to access the URL [http://www.mysite.com/blog/index.php/2006/08/10/this/](http://www.mysite.com/blog/index.php/2006/08/10/this/)
 * I am obviously doing something very stupid – can someone please put me out of
   my misery!
 * Many thanks

 * OK, I’ve done that but I’m still not a whole lot further forward. My web server
   is Zeus 3.4 so I guess I can’t use mod_rewrite?
 * According to the documentation (codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks) I should
   be able to to use PATHINFO permalinks without any further changes to the config
   but I still get the same errors. The default permalinks work fine but I need 
   something that’s a little more SE friendly.

 * Bleh. Later versions may perform differently, but that version is 4 years old
   and won’t support apache-style rules.
 * Can’t help you, sorry. But if you hang on, someone else may have leads to hacks…

 * What about using PATHINFO permalinks? The documentation is unclear as to whether
   this needs mod_rewrite to work. As yet I’ve been unable to get it to work either.
