permalinks don't work with wp in a subdirectory

[anonymousbugger]

i couldn't seem to get my permalinks to work after i moved my wp files around, even though i totally removed the htaccess, tried to do it all manually, etc. wp said it couldn't find my htaccess, and i gave up.

as soon as i moved my wp files to the root directory, however, everything cleared up - wp said my permalinks were updated, etc. seems like there is a bug with permalinks and subdirectories?

WP lookd for .htaccess in the directory that corresponds to the "Blog Address" settings in Options->General.

Permalinks should work just fine in a subdirectory.

i had changed the blog address, though, before i tried to redo the htaccess.
