 Python/2.5 PHP/5.2.1 this is not working. I mean on the front page, the
 links are displayed correctly for all articles, but when clicking on an
 article I get a HTTP 404 error.

 (any other entries fails). So if I put /index.php/%category%/%postname%
 then my permalinks are all correct, by that I mean that I can click and
 view the articles instead of the 404 error page.

 Don't get me wrong, but that sounds like mod_rewrite was not working
 properly.
