 * Hi there,
    I have been going through almost all permalink related posts across
   various forums. However I have not been able to resolve my problem nor to nail
   it down somehow.
 * I am running WordPress 2.0. Updating has been a charm. Permalinks for me never
   worked. Not under 1.5.2 nor under 2.0.
 * Here are some steps I have undertaken:
 * – I have a .htaccess file.
    – The file can be edited programmatically (permissions).
   If I add rules maunally via the admin panel’s file editor, they are successfully
   saved end executed. – If I add rewrite rules to .htaccess manually, they work.
   This is a clear sign than mod_rewrite works fine on my server.
 * However, if I activate permalinks, nothing is added to the .hatccess file. The
   links in my blog are updates (so they point to ../archives/1, ../archives/2 etc.)
   but if I click them they lead to nowhere.
 * So basically the main issue seems to be that WordPress does *not* update the .
   htaccess file and does *not* add any rules to it.
 * Can anybody help tracking this down?
 * Regards
    Ralf
