WP intercepting and 404ing requests for real directories

  • I recently migrated my WordPress (2.0.6) installation to a new server, and finally started work on new loop pages restricted by category. WordPress lives in /wp/, and one of the loop pages I created resides as /music/index.php. Direct requests for /music/index.php work fine, but attempts to access /music/ result in a WordPress-generated 404 page.

    This might be because there used to be a WordPress-created Page with the post slug “music”, which I had previously deleted, but I attempted to rename the now-real music directory to musiczzz, and this made no difference when trying to access /musiczzz/.

    Everything seems okay in my .htaccess file, which doesn’t deviate from the WordPress default, and I can access my real /forums/ directory just fine, so I’m at a loss as to why WordPress is intercepting requests for real directories and returning 404s instead of letting Apache serve the index.php file within. Any thoughts?
