Wordpress not working

inthestars · July 27th, 2008, 11:53 AM

Grr Wordpress hasn't been working for a while now.

Tell Him

The pages don't work, comments don't work only the index page works. Anyone know why?

Did you ask on the Wordpress forums? To me it looks like a problem with a template or Wordpress it self.

Hmm I changed the theme and it still had the same problem. I think I'll ask on the Wordpress forum tomorrow (it's past midnight here) :P.

Looks like you set up permalinks...did WordPress not create an htaccess for you?

If you already had an htaccess, it might not have plopped the code into it. It should have inserted the following:

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

ceo's on the ball.

For some reason, WordPress has a hard time detecting Apache on Surpass servers. I had the same problem over on sh138.

If you feel like getting your hands dirty, open wp-includes/vars.php in your editor of choice. Look for this bit of code around line 61:

Code:

$is_apache = ((strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'Apache') !== false) || (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'LiteSpeed') !== false)) ? true : false;

Comment it out (by putting two forward slashes in front of it), and underneath it, add this code:

Code:

$is_apache = true;

This keeps WordPress from having to figure out whether it's running on an Apache server.

Once you've done that, simply go into the Settings -> Permalinks section of your WordPress admin panel, select your preferred permalinks scheme, and hit Save Changes.

But yeah, ceo's solution is a fair bit easier.

I think it has to do with phpSuExec

Basically there's some variables that now need to be specified in a php.ini instead of an htaccess because PHP is running as a service and not as a module of apache

I just submitted a ticket to helpdesk and it's all good
