Problems with permalinks

Hi,
In my blog, http://bittenteam.net/pureskeltavaa/ my permalinks to articles don’t work properly, I really can’t explain, please test yourself. And when I ghange that permalink type in example to “/section/article-name” it won’t work at all.

Also links to sections don’t work. I’ve made three sections: “blogi”, “info” and “arkisto” but none of them works if I try to go them with http://bittenteam.net/pureskeltavaa/section
In example http://bittenteam.net/pureskeltavaa/info gives me 404 error.

I thank you in advance. Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks for that link, I read it but I don’t find my .htaccess. Should I create one? I’m not so familiar with .htaccess, actually I’ve never used it.

Thanks for those. The .htaccess was there but I just didn’t see it. Those were still very helpful.
Unfotunately those first instructions didn’t work and it just gave error 500.
Could there be any other way to fix those permalinks? Now when I push those article links it just shows me the front page.

Sounds like your host doesn’t support mod_rewrite, which means you won’t be able to have clean permalinks.
