 * I have a small question if its posible to use the %category% parameter in the
   rewrite rule if i’m using an Apache 1.33 php server.
 * I have read this:
 * Note on using %category%
    %category% does not work correctly with mod_rewrite
   in Apache versions prior to 2. If you are using Apache 1, do not use %category%
   in your permalink structure.
 * Can someone explain/show me what problems can appear when using this parameter?
 * Tnq.

 * I have never seen a problem with any version prior to 2. Apache2 still isn’t 
   full production for a lot of machines, in fact my host uses 1.3.x still. I don’t
   see why or how using %category% should be a problem for you.
 * I used to have %category% in my permalink structure and it ran fine.
