FIXED IT!!

I have an intelligent router that was filtering out requests that start with ‘/?’.. That did it!

Now I can proceed.. I appreciate this forum and all your comments, I was able to fix install issues that would have created other problems and it was very appreciated.

Thanks!
Larry.

Apache mod_rewrite was not working. I now have htaccess rewriting working properly, so I made another step in the right direction with your help.

However, nothing appears different.

Other than the lines inserted by wordpress are there any other lines required in the .htaccess file? If WordPress can access and rewrite the .htaccess file is there any other thing that can cause these 404 errors?

The current .htaccess file contains

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

and that’s all.

Thanks! I reinstalled from the server side and copied everything in to the directory just to be sure that permissions and all were correct.
Still the same problems..

At least I’m more confident that things ought to work…

Should I just reinstall? Are there any issues that could cause?

I’m hosting this on my own server. I did have an issue with directory permissions which I think I straightened out. Are there missing files? or could it be another permissions issue?

I’ll check, in the mean time I created a page in wp-admin, and when I hit the ‘view’ link it will not show… same issue it appears.

It’s on a remote server (deployment). My first installation.

It’s Suse linux 11.2, and I use ssh to remotely manage it.

The solution!

Since I was able to see php executing on a fresh suse 11.2 install, I knew there was most likely an error in the configuration files. The server I am deploying on was to a great extent experimental and I must have created statements that interfered with php. I regret to say that I’m not sure what the final change was that made it work. But it’s working great now.

I just basically trimmed the configuration in the server (/etc/apache2) to conform to the newer installation that worked, until it started working. Some apache configuration rules are a little confusing, I most likely made a small mistake that rendered php5 inoperative.

I did find in the apache2 error logs a large number of errors that went away when I used yast to shutdown apparmor. I had not fully configured apparmor, so there might have been an issue there.

I’m not aware of any side effects to shutting apparmor down, but things are working well now, so I can get on with the blog.

My thanks for the suggestions from ipstenu.. It got me off ‘stumped mode’ and gave me somewhere to start.

Now to the creative work!

Thanks.

I have vmware running suse linux 11.2 and I quickly installed php, mysql and apache, and php is processing the php files just fine.

My problem is on our deployment server and somehow I need to diagnose the problem and fix it. I know a lot of you have located this sort of problem. Can anyone give me some hints on where and what to look for? I will post the solution here of course as to what the problem is when I find it. It should save someone else a lot of time too.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link, sounds exactly like what is happening here, but none of the suggestions work for me.

AddHandler server-parsed .php

looks like exactly what I need but it didn’t work, and there wasn’t any other combinations of addtype or addhandler that made any difference. I also added the mime type

application/x-httpd-php .php

to the mime.types file. Nothing seems to get apache to execute the php code.

I’m looking forward to getting WordPress installed, so I hope I can get this sorted out..

I know that this is not a problem attributable to wordpress, but I’m not sure where to go or who to ask for help on this one. Any suggestions would be a great help.

I set up the standard info.php file

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

to test web access and apache returns the file as a download. I can run the file at the console and phpinfo() data returns. I uninstalled and then reinstalled apache and php just in case, but nothing has worked.

all php pages..

php5-5.3.2-1.1.1
