 * Permalink uses a module called called re-write to create the urls.
 * This needs access permissions to be able to create the urls, the warning message
   is telling you that you do not have access permissions.
 * You’d need to login to your server and add this to either the .htaccess file 
   or the apache2.conf either will do.
 * <Directory “/var/www”>
    AllowOverride All RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ 
   index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA] </Directory>
 * If it still doesn’t work make sure the rewrite module is enabled in the server.
 * hope this helps
