Missing edit facility?!

yes. completely empty.
and then uploading a version of wordpress.

I have tried that on both my main domain and my subdomains.

Everything else is working really well (now that my sites are up), except these few admin panels.

here is the site if you want to take a look: https://www.desperatecooks.com

Have you tried a different browser to see if it is a caching issue?

Yes. I usually use Safari, but I have also tried in Firefox.
(I know Safari often has some issues… it seems Safari 5 has some probs with Flash, so I usually try things on Firefox as well.)

Right – this is what fixed it for me… I found it online in a forum concerning 1and1 servers. It may help. I uploaded the following info (saved as .htaccess) to my server root and hey presto!!

<files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</files>

ServerSignature Off

<files wp-config.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</files>

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

# END WordPress

Options All -Indexes
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

To clarify (for non-tecchies) the file name should be literally called “.htaccess” not “something.htaccess” and it will likely be recognised as a “hidden” system file, in which case you’ll need to enable the presence of hidden files in Windows or Mac OS X.

Worked for me anyway…… ??

thanks, I’ll try that!

nope…that didn’t work for me….
made my site ‘download’ to a useless document file but not open.
O_O

To clarify – I shouldn’t have said “root of my server”. My .htaccess file is stored in the same location as the folders ‘wp-admin’, ‘wp-content’, ‘wp-includes’, and with all the other php files..

NaeK – Sorry to hear it didn’t work ??

so really you mean your WP directory?
maybe I will try it there instead…

EGADS!
No, that was terrible… putting it there just meant that when I went to log in to my page it just downloaded the php file!

Shame it still isn’t doing the trick.. I’m not sure whether the content of .htaccess needs specific custom server information, but it sure stopped any issues for me. It’s probably no coincidence that the original thread I read was related to “1and1 servers”, which I am running my system on…

Hopefully someone can get to the bottom of this for you,

My host emails me back today and says it’s a problem with PHP 5.3… so I was right.

I’m like… YTF do you say you can support wordpress when you are using software that is incompatible???
GRRR.
