Permalink Errors with 2.7.1

    15 years, 8 months ago

    I’ve just set up two blogs:

    https://speed.atomicburn.com
    https://tribe.atomicburn.com

    They both use the same database, but with different $table_prefix and Authentication Unique Keys.

    Both seem to work fine, until:

    On both, I tried to set the permalink to the second option (Day and name).

    On the first blog, it works. On the second blog, I get a 404 error (in fact I get a 404 error if the permalinks are set to other than the Default option).

    I tried setting up a 3rd and 4th blog, same again – only the very first one I installed in the database works.

    I checked the .htaccess files – they are all identical:

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

    # END WordPress

    I tried adding the following line at the top, didn’t work:

    Options +FollowSymlinks

    The wordpress installs are in different folders. Everything else seems to work, with the exception that permalinks only work on the first one I installed.

    It’s running under Linux/Apache, and I have yet another wordpress blog installed (in a different database), permalinks work fine on that one also.

    Anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?? (other than possibly loading each into a new database?)

    Thanks in advance,

    –Steve

  • different db tables should work fine

    delete the .htaccess in the installs not working and then regenerate the permalinks
    sometimes the internal rewrite gets screwy

    Thanks for the quick response

    Just tried, deleting the .htaccess, went into wp-admin, changed the permalink setting, still didn’t work…

    Deleted the database tables, reinstalled, same problem.

    Turns out I actually have 2 out of 5 wp installs working correctly out of the same database, 3 out of the have the permalink error. They all have identical .htaccess files, similar fdirectory trees (main directory is different obviously), I just can’t see any differences why two should work and three not?

    Fixed – it appears there may have been a delay with Apache picking up the .htaccess file – after about 2 hours everything works fine on all installs, so looks like it’s a hosting issue, not a wordpress problem at all.

    Thanks for your help – how do mark this thread as resolved?
