Well I see one issue with the rewrites, but my fix doesn’t solve the problem

default Permalinks
URL

https://mysite.com/wordpress/?p=435

.htaccess file

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

numeric Permalinks (and other options
URLS:

https://mysite.com/wordpress/archives/435

.htaccess

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

# END WordPress

per the Apache 2.4.3 documentation “To enable the rewrite engine in this context, you need to set “RewriteEngine On” and “Options FollowSymLinks” must be enabled.”

Adding ‘Options FollowSymLinks’ after the RewriteEngine line doesn’t solve the problem, but it should be added.

So it looks like I’ll have to dig into index.php and all the files it moves to to understand where the disconnect is.

Any good ideas?

I’m the host for my website too and can confirm that mod_rewrite is enabled in my Apache config.

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

One new thought, though I’m not too sure how to test this, is that in resolving my server issues I upgraded to Apache 2.4.3, PHP 5.4.3, and MySQL 5.5. Of particular importance in Apache 2.4.3 ‘Order’ commands are depreciated. This caused me to have to go change all of my re-write rules.

Does anyone know if WordPress 3.4.2 is compatible with my server application versions? I don’t see any documentation in the Support->Docs section about this (The only mention is that mod_rewrite has to be enabled, as esmi noted above).

Where do wordpresses re-write rules exist? I’m wondering if I can look at them and do some testing with the rules to see if this is the issue.
