 * Still can’t get it to work. So I made a dirty solution: redirect the root to 
   index.php. I added this in index.php as first two instructions:
 * $file = $_SERVER[“SCRIPT_NAME”];
    if ($file != “/index.php”) header(‘Location:
   index.php’);
 * It’s ugly but it works.

 * Hmm, I downgraded to 3.0.3 in my own language (Dutch) but it has the same problem.
   Chance that the version is the problem is slim, I think.
 * I’m pulling my hair out over this. Especially while I have a site on the same
   server that _does _work :-S

 * Tried it, doesn’t work.
 * I discovered one difference which I overlooked: the working site has WP 3.0.1
   and the sites where it doesn’t work have version 3.1. Would it be a bug in 3.1?
