If you want a permalink structure other than the default, make sure the Apache option “AllowOverrides” is enabled for the document root of your WordPress blog. It took me a while and a bit of searching to discover this one. The options to go with AllowOverrides aren’t documented as well as I would like, but FileInfo and Indexes are enabled on my server. Without this, your .htaccess won’t have any effect and you will get 404 errors with alternative link structures.

Hope that helps somebody.
