# Permalink issue

 * I’m running Abyss Web Server on a win32 machine and everything works just fine
   in my WordPress 1.5 installation. However, I find that the permalink structure
   I’m using (/index.php/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%post_id%) does not work.
   But, if I go to say [http://domain/blog/index.php?p=2](http://domain/blog/index.php?p=2)–
   it’ll actually go to the page where it shows just that article and has the comment
   box and all that.
 * However, if I try clicking on one of the entry/article titles, it just refreshes
   the page and doesn’t do anything. Same thing happens when I click on the “No 
   Comments” link. 🙁
 * I’ve done some searching on the forums, but all I could find were solutions using
   a .htaccess file, which I thought is only used by Apache.

 * Try putting a trailing slash at the end of your permalink structure, so you have`/%
   post_id%/` .
 * `/index.php/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%post_id%/`

 * The same thing happens even with a a / on the end.

 * I’m still unsure what else to try. I read about a fix that’ll work where you 
   change the permalink structure to /index.php?p=%post_id% or something similar.
 * But then I won’t have proper archiving, right?
 * Anyone else have any ideas as to what could be causing this or what I can do 
   to fix it?
