 * Whoopee! I found a solution to make permalinks work for me on my godaddy server.
   I hope this might be useful for some of you on your systems.
    My situation: I
   had installed wp 2.04, built content, links, etc. all was working great after
   many hours of hard work with site content and design, then turned on the permalink
   option… OUCH everything died.. as you have all described so painfully in this
   thread. I tried all the suggested mods and tricks and workarounds I could find
   with no luck… until just now… when I got lucky. Here’s the scoop (this worked
   for me on my godaddy server, your mileage may vary): -uninstall MS Frontpage 
   extensions (if installed) -but that’s not enough. After uninstalling FP ext. 
   my site still was totally dead–even the main page and admin pages– all dead. 
   But don’t despair…yet… -after uninstalling FP ext there was still be a vestigal.
   htaccess file in my root directory. Just to be safe I made a backup, then deleted
   it. Presto. Site is back up and the permalinks even work!
 * A note for those who wish to experiment with this fix: My WP install is in a 
   separate directory (folder) from my main root directory. I didn’t touch the other
   remaining .htaccess file in the (lower) wp directory. If your wp install is at
   root level it’s possible these steps might also work for you, but of course be
   sure to backup any files before deleting just in case.
 * Hope this helps some of you on godaddy servers and maybe some others. Good luck!
