I am running WP2.0.1 too and it is working fine for me on one installation, but not on another. The problem confounds me. 🙁
I’m having same problems with WP 2.0.1
Permalinks seems to work if I include index.php at the start – I don’t want this in every url though!
The control panel is only telling me it can’t write to .htaccess 10% of the time, and the rest it’s not even adding anything to it!!?
Does the .htaccess-file contain the required items, then?
No it’s completely empty either way, even when it says it’s been updated. I’ve just deleted it completely and made a new .htacess file but still it’s empty…
The control panel is telling me: “Permalink structure updated” but .htaccess is still empty, so of course am getting 404 errors when i try to view a post.
Hmm.
Is this a bug or am I just stupid !?!?
Still stuck with index.php in front of all my permalinks for them to work… is there a way to fix this?
Cheers 😀

I’m not sure if this has anything to do with this thread but I am running 2.0.1 and I am trying permalink structure
/%postname%/%monthnum%/%year%/ and I get a warning notice “you should update your htaccess now”
Is this correct and being a newbie I am not sure how to do that?

i’m also having this problem.
i created a fresh htaccess and uploaded it.
i set the options->permalink to /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
and it tells me that the structure updated.
i take a look at the htacess and its still empty.
my permalink issue is also fixed by adding /index.php but i’d rather not do that as well. anyone else have thoughts on this?
I’m having the same issues, and waiting for responses on 2 other open threads. Anyone have any answers yet? If anyone knows how to fix this, please e-mail me – I’d appreciate the assistance.
(Here’s another thread with more people having the same issues)
I don’t know if this will be helpful or not, but here’s what worked for me. (fingers crossed that it will stay that way)
I was having problems with the htaccess file not being created, so I was editing the file myself with variations on what wordpress was offering. Nothing would work, but it was obviously an access issue. Take out the htaccess file and I could type in some links and get places, but no links would work within the site.
I finally changed the permissions to the htaccess file to 777 instead of the 666 that was recommended and . . . that was all it took! Changed it back to 664 and it’s still working. This was causing me pain yesterday and I just lucked into it. So try 777 for permissions if you’re having a similar issue.
Good luck, Ian
