Okay I tried the upgrade properly and I still get the same error.

Basically on the upgrade page of the admin section, it says I am using the most current version of wordpress and that there is nothing to upgrade to (from 2.7.1) so I had to do this manually. Is there a way to fix this so that I can upgrade wordpress within the admin section?

Nevermind; I’ve reverted back to 2.7.1 and I’ll try again and see if things work out. Thanks anyway.

Also, my blog is hosted on Awardspace.com

the link to my blog is https://blog.divineiniquity.net as you may notice there have been no comments in the last 20+ posts due to the inability for me to moderate and display them publicly.

hmm maybe I should try to reinstall the whole thing again…and that means reposting every thing I’ve typed up…as in recreate the whole database from scratch because I believe the error is probably in the database. Because it doesnt make sense that WordPress 2.2 works fine for a few days and then suddenly everything stuffs up…either that or I simply don’t moderate comments anymore.

Yeah I tried this piece of code:

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

shove it into the “…Wordpress/wp-admin/.htaccess” file right?

Didn’t work…still 500 internal error.

Just a question before I go thropugh with what’s been said: Why doesn’t WordPress auto-configure this sort of stuff before distributing the entire package?

Can someone please help me with this problem? It’s starting to get on my nerves.

ok I think I better start this all over again:

Firstly (before anything happend here), I was unable to access the comments page in the admin panel. Furthermore I cannot moderate any of the new comments through moderation.php. That is the original problem.

Your instructions was to create a .htaccess file in this directory:

…Wordpress/wp-admin/.htaccess

With the text:

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

This file exists in that location right now.

Also I have another .htaccess file in this directory:

…Wordpress/.htaccess

With this text:

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

With both of these .htaccess files in their approprite directories, I can no longer access the wp-admin at all, let alone moerate comments and such.

At whooami: If I have pasted the text wrong for the first .htaccess file then tell me what’s wrong because the text I have entered is exactly what appears in this post.

Right now this is not working…

https://blog.divineiniquity.net you can take a look if you don’t believe me, try and click on “Site Admin”, you won’t be able to get into the login screen for the admin panel.

At the moment I am getting this: (500 Internal Server Error)

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

Please contact the server administrator, [no address given] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

yes I know what you’re talking about and so I’ll explain to you what I meant:

the .htaccess file your quote refers to should be located in this directory “…/Wordpress/wp-admin/.htaccess”

However my existing .htaccess file is located as thus:
“…/Wordpress/.htaccess”

I have followed your quoted section and made a new .htaccess file and uploaded it so that it matches the directory of the first instance I said. This is the resukt:

Internal Server Error

you can check on my site as well.

I’m pretty sure it simply has to do with the skin you’re using. It simply makes your links look “good” by adding a “circle” after it. Pretty sure the “o” is not part of the link (put your mouse over it and if it highlights with an underline then its part of the link). If it is part of the link then post back.

All I know of what to do is simply changing the “Weblog title” under Options -> General. This will write the <head> tag within the .php file (index.php I think) but you cannot do it manually, not that I know of.

alright thanks man Ill see if it works ??

ok I just checked. It actually made things worse:

Firstly the .htaccess file was actually located in my main wordpress directory: one level above wp-admin.

Secondly it already had this text in it:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

If I add what you just told me to I get a 500 internal error.

alright thanks man Ill see if it works ??

perhaps it has something to do with his confiurations, from config.php and then also permalinks. You don’t really tell us whether logging in is the problem OR if it’s simply trying to “write” a post.

Thanks. Umm what number should they be…mine are all set to 755.

The problem also exists for the “edit_comments.php” file. Which means I cannot even view the comments in the admin panel. Does this have anything to do with the database?
