If I take everything out of the htaccess file, the original error comes up:

Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/index-extra.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at https://www.twisted-solutions.co.uk Port 80

By the way, this happened on another test blog I set up for my boyfriend this evening too… I used fantastico to install it… I don’t think I could provide ANY other information. Except I currently use an older version on my other domain and that works perfectly.

this is the error I now get in the sidebar ‘latest activity’ and where the wordpress updates go, and if I try to edit/delete anything like comments, or add categories.

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Moshu, I appreciate your patience… even though I’m starting to loose mine!

I no longer have a .htaccess in the root folder. I manually added one, now I have deleted it.

Now in wordpress admin I have .htaccess file named .htaccess
– in that is this:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</IfModule>

Pleeeease can you spot where I am going wrong. I’ll even upload a picture of my FTP and notepad and everything if it would help?!

If I create a file in notepad and save it as ‘all files’ called ‘.htaccess.’ – It doesn’t work…

If I create a text file and upload it .txt then rename it ‘.htaccess’ It doesn’t work…

I really don’t understand…!

and no, that didn’t work either… grrr!

What should be in the htaccess in the public html then seeing as I’ve distroyed it…?

yeah, I admit that firstly I named it wrong, then secondly I placed it in /wp-admin. But now it is in public_html

Am I just doing this all wrong??!

I thought about that, but then decided I wouldn’t actually know what they were meant to be… currently they are:

755

should they be 777?

I have followed that, and it has not helped.

Any ideas?

sorry for not checking first :-S

Well, fair enough. ??

I am getting a bit fustrated with all this now. I don’t understand what exactly I keep doing and breaking!

Haha! I might have to walk away from the laptop…

oooh now everything jumped out of the container again…

NO! I like to do it all myself!

Plus the top bit in the header is going to be a big horizontal list of links.

Modifying someone else’s theme.. tut tut… cheating! Where’s the challange?
