PLEASE help!!! I have the same problem…pretty perms work great except on homepage. I have set to use php 5.2.6 run as fastcgi (have switched to cgi just to see if it would help – it didn’t). Plus I was having the problem of always having to include “index.php” in site root url. I SOMEHOW fixed that problem but now I’m stuck with a homepage that says “This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?” or ugly permalinks.
