404 – Page Not Found Error When Posting

bump

HI,

Please check with the permissions to your database and wordpress blog folder…if they may not resolve the case then check with the permalinks settings for your blog.

Thanks,

Shane G.

Shane,

If it was a permissions problem why would it only occur.. sometimes?

For example, I could be writing an article and save it as a draft and it works. Then, i’ll write a little more and save (following the same process) and then I get the 404 error.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

John

This is still a major problem for me.. does anyone have a resolution?

For example, I try to post a page (w/ php code, using exec-php) with the following contents:

<?php

$dbhost = “placeholder”;
$dbuser = “placeholder”;
$dbpass = “placeholder”;

$connection = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die(‘Error connecting to database’);
$dbname = ‘dbname’;

if (!mysql_select_db($dbname, $link)) {
echo ‘Could not select database’;
exit;
}
$sql = “fgsgdgdgfsgsdfgsgdfgsdgsdgfgsdgdsgs”;

?>

^^^^^^^ The ABOVE WORKS AND ALLOWS ME TO SAVE THE PAGE ^^^^^^

Then I try to modify the above page and do this (JUST A MINOR CHANGE)

<?php

$dbhost = “placeholder”;
$dbuser = “placeholder”;
$dbpass = “placeholder”;

$connection = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die(‘Error connecting to database’);
$dbname = ‘planetst_main’;

if (!mysql_select_db($dbname, $link)) {
echo ‘Could not select database’;
exit;
}
$sql = “SELECT * FROM TABLENAME ORDER BY COLNAME ASC”;

?>

^^^^^^^ WHEN I TRY TO SAVE THIS I GET A 404 ERROR PAGE NOT FOUND. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO POST THE PAGE OR SAVE IT AS A DRAFT. THEN IT LOGS ME OUT OF THE ADMIN PANEL.. ^^^^^^

Does anyone have any experience with this type of error(s). Very strange.. This should cause an error. Very frustrating!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

John

does nobody respond to these threads or does nobody know the answer?

Most responses are made by other people with WordPress blogs who just happen to have a little time to haunt the forums. (I’m procrastinating.)

Is exec-php causing the problem?

I’ve seem this problem both with and without exec-php. But lately it seems like its only php causing the problem?

I’ve recently been having this exact same proble, have you been able to find a solution for this?

This error doesn’t happen all of the time, but it happens quite a lot. Even occurs when editing a page. Sometimes i can save it without getting the error if i delete a paragraph or two from the end of a page. Its a very strange an annoying error.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I am having exactly the same problem.

@steelz09 did you find a resolution to this problem?

@noyz319 what about you? any luck in resolving this issue?

This issue is very frustrating and will appreciate your help.

Thanks.

I upgraded to the latest WP version made sure all my plugins were up to date and that seemed to fix it for me, never did find out the exact route of the problem though. I think it may have been outdated or conflicting plugins.

I’ve found that this consistently happens to me when I have a post containing the word ‘select‘ or any variations like ‘selections’ ‘selected’ — even with all plugins disabled.

Very irritating as it is a word which comes up a lot in my topic, and I’m always having to explain this strange fact to my authors…

If anyone has a fix, I’d love to hear it.

I’m running 2.9.1 now and this problem seems to be gone. Frustrating to not know the exact cause, but I’m relieved it is working!
