# Permalink, / and index.php

 * I have the following custom permalink structure: /%category%/%postname%/
 * My .htaccess file:
    ` # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine
   On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php </IfModule> # END WordPress
 * The problem: WordPress will take the Main Index Template of my template (Almost
   Spring) if I enter [http://calcox.de/](http://calcox.de/), but If I type [http://calcox.de/index.php](http://calcox.de/index.php),
   there will be appear the content of the Archive Template. This cannto be the 
   intention of the programmers.
 * If I change my permalink structure, all Posts wil be unreachable from eg. google
   results. I don’t want that…

 * I need some debug information. Install and activate [this plugin](http://boren.nu/downloads/dump_env.phps).
   After activating, visit [http://calcox.de/](http://calcox.de/) and save the page
   source. Do the same for [http://calcox.de/index.php](http://calcox.de/index.php).
   Deactivate the plugin when you’re done. Send me the source for both pages. ryan-
