1.2 & .htaccess blues

I’m having the same problem. Permalink, trackback, and comment links are all broken when applying the above permalink structure and adding the above code the the .htaccess file.

Just wondering.. do you have Apache 2.0?

I have no help to offer.. but I am having the same problem with both comments not being visible and links to monthly archives not working when I mess with the permalinks.
It’s running on Red Hat Linux 7.2….

I got it working by reseting the archive path and a fresh .htaccess file . Frankly, I have no idea why it wasn’t in the first place, but here is the new content of my .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^archives/category/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp-feed.php?category_name=$1&feed=$2&section=1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/category/?(.*) /index.php?category_name=$1&section=1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/author/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp-feed.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2&section=1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/author/?(.*) /index.php?author_name=$1&section=1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9]{4})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4&page=$5&section=1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/([_0-9a-z-]+)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp-feed.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4&feed=$5&section=1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/([_0-9a-z-]+)/trackback/?$ /wp-trackback.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4&section=1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wp-feed.php?feed=$1&section=1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^comments/feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wp-feed.php?feed=$1&withcomments=1&section=1 [QSA]


Playing around with it…
Doing things like in one of the examples (/%year%%monthnum%/%day%/%hour%/%postname%) works just fine.
Changing it a little to switch a slash for an underscore (/%year%%monthnum%/%day%/%hour%_%postname%) and the monthly archives quit working, but the comments are still there.
Change it a little more to closer to what I want to do (/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%hour%_%minute%_%second%/) and the archives still don’t work and the comments are no longer there.
Very strange. Unfortunately I don’t understand mod_rewrite well enough to try and fix whatever is wrong myself. I’m trying to get permalinks to be the same as I have them with MT… something like https://maybe.iotoeuropa.org/archives/2004/05/01/14_02_51.php

The year/month/day archives will no longer work if you insert a static string or character in the permalink. In this case, the static characters are the underscores. You wil have to make your own rewrite rule if you want to handle this.

I’m not using any static charcters and my ctaegory permalinks do not work.
