So what I ended up doing was not using the gentoo ebuild and using the tradional install method. So I’m guessing its a bug in the ebuild and not in wordpress or the ebuild is using an old tarball.
planetthoughtful,
Thanks for very helpful repspones! I was starting to suspect the apache2 configuration as well. I have a few gentoo servers so I’m going to try installing wordpress on another machine to see if I get the same errors. I have also posted my apache conf here: https://alexvalentine.org/asv/
Maybe someone will see something out of the ordinary.
I should have made this more clear but it is not a browser issue. I’ve tried this on every major browser on every major platform. (windows, OSX, Linux).
