Wordpress Link Problem

ryanator · June 23rd, 2007, 12:49 AM

Hello again... Sorry to bother, but I cant seem to get past the fact that my wordpress isn't working again. Its on my original domain, and when I try to link it through the pages the pages doesn't come up like so here

I also get my 404 page when I try access other post's url through links. It also occurs with my categories too... Any ideas? Or is my wordpress going wack.

Lastly, when I tried to edit the page, the bottom doesn't show (with the post preview). I get my 404 page. >> Example

Did you try to the permalinks option?

**MarkRH** · June 23rd, 2007, 4:17 AM

If you can get into the Admin section, I would try going into options and changing the Permalinks back to the default option just to make sure the articles will appear correctly with that setting. If that works then it sounds like something's not set correctly with your .htaccess file.

(looks for another thread that has some more info)

Yes, thats the problem. My permalink format doesnt work. When I used the regular ?p=123 format it worked. So could it be my format?

I'm not quite sure. Maybe it is something within your .htaccess file. Not that I know a lot of that.

I believe it's because WordPress isn't able to update your .htaccess file, what you should do is change your permalink options & it should print out what you should put in your .htaccess file. Copy this into your .htaccess & you should be fine.

You need to edit your .htaccess file so that it has the proper mod_rewrite functions that wordpress relies on for the permalink structure.

Add this to your .htaccess:

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

Yeah, what happens is that Wordpress doesn't think it's running on Apache and so it doesn't change the .htaccess file. What you have to do to fool it is edit the /wp-includes/vars.php file and look for the server detection section and change it to the following:

PHP Code:


			
// Server detection

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

$is_apache = 1;

$is_IIS = (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'Microsoft-IIS') !== false) ? true : false;

The reason is that the $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] variable comes back with a value of "WebServerX" and not Apache. So, here we are just forcing the issue and telling it that it is Apache.

After making that change, then Wordpress will actually change the .htaccess file; otherwise, you will need to manually change the .htaccess file yourself like above.

Thank you so much! It really did help and it works now.

One question though, why didn't this happen earlier.
