Upgraded to 3.04 w/ permalinks, can't access wp-admin

  • I recently updated a 3.02 install to 3.04 and now my wp-admin url is not reachable.

    When I have the following in my .htaccess;

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

    My Permalinks work great, but I can’t access wp-admin, I get a result of “page not found”.

    However, when I remove that code from my .htaccess, I can get to wp-admin, but then my permalinks are broken.

    Any ideas on how to correct this?

  • Just want to share something else. I opened your site in IE and via IE Developer tool I changed your domain to mine, only for stylesheet and your login came back in normal view:

    https://postimage.org/image/1j381b4as/

    And when I check your site headers, everything came back normal as well:
    https://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=httphead&host=troublebrothers.com%2Fwp-login.php

    Everything is in place. You can try @ipstenu and @govpatel first, however also try getting in touch with your hosting provider just to rule out .htaccess issues along with apache mod_rewrite.

    My last suggestion (I think) is this:

    1. Set your permalinks to default
    2. Delete your .htaccess
    3. Clean your cache, plugin caching also if any
    4. Set new permalink structure

    Well, I am the hosting provider, so I know there aren’t any issue with the apache config… the problem only popped up when we upgraded to 3.04. I think it may be a plugin issue. I am going to try what others suggested, perhaps installing a fresh version and then seeing if everything works ok, then puttng the plugins in one at a time until it breaks.

    Just remember, even if you built the server with your own two hands does not exculpate you from a bonehead maneuver ?? (I tell folks to always assume they made the mistake and not the code ?? )

    @ipstenu… I agree, however if there was a server issue I would have seen it LONG ago and with the previous version of WP… I’m thinking it’s an incompatibility with one of the plugins and the new version that is causing this. I have dozens of other users using the older version of WP without issue, this was the first customer to upgrade.

    Oh in that case if you are the hosting provider you would know if something was wrong. I personally always go back to basics sometimes that’s where the problem is.

    Good luck and keep us posted,

    I just had this same problem…

    404: “can’t find the page” while showing me the correct the correct permalink path…

    I HIGHLY recommend the :30 second htaccess refresh…
    rename .htaccess, re-set to “ugly” links, re-set it back… WORKED!!!

    I had added:
    RewriteEngine On
    php_value post_max_size 1000M
    php_value upload_max_filesize 1000M
    php_value max_execution_time 6000000

    to allow for +2mb audio/video media upload

    it worked for the filesize increase
    guess it “broke” it otherwise

    any ideas on how to make the increased filesize work????

    THANX
