 * Hi!
    I would be extremly happy if someone can help me with my problem. I have
   a travel blog and I would like to change the permalinks to: Month and name /index.
   php/2009/07/sample-post/ But when I do this and go to a page this comes up:
 * CGI Error
    The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete
   set of HTTP headers.
 * I would be extremly happy if you could help me step by step, because I don’t 
   know much about programing, actually nothing.
 * Thank you so much!

 * i’d like to help you, but your permanlinks seems a little strange, why did you
   add index.php in the beginning.

 * My first chocie would be only %postname% but I read somewhere that it wasn’t 
   recommended. But when you go to “Permalinks Settings” on the menu to your left
   index.php/2009/07/sample-post/ seems to me to be the best alternative.

 * I can’t find anything about .htaccess on the permalinks setting page (on my wp
   blog).

 * If the default setting works but the customized one doesn’t work, it’s probably
   the problem of mod_rewrite. If you blog is hosted by an Apache sever, you should
   make sure this mod is enabled. If it’s an IIS, I have to say sorry because I 
   know nothing about it.

 * There is a post about [how to check if mod_rewrite is enabled](http://www.wallpaperama.com/forums/how-to-test-check-if-mod-rewrite-is-enabled-t40.html).
   Make sure you are working on an Apache server.
