I have Wordpress installation (Ver. 2.0.1) that's been giving me headaches the last few days.

Here is what's happening:

In the admin panel I have set the permalink options (OPTIONS --> PERMALINK --> ) to the "Date and name based" option in the options list. My URLS are re-written to look like this: /blog/wordpress/index.php/2006/05/14/sample-post/

All URLs seem to work OK despite the fact that wordpress does not update the .htaccess file in installation root: /wordpress/ -- the .htaccess remains blank even when CHMODED to 777.

While the URLs seem to work fine the RSS FEED URLs generated for the MAIN FEED & COMMENTS are blank when viewed in a browser or a feed aggregator. Here is the feed format: /blog/wordpress/index.php/feed/ .

The same format appears in the the automatically generated AUTO-DISCOVERY tags, meaning the search engines are essentially picking nothing.

What heck is happening here?

Note: The default RSS feed URLs work fine:

Main Feed: /blog/wordpress/?feed=rss2
Comments Feed: /blog/wordpress/?feed=comments-rss2
