Common thread I noticed was php issue.
I changed the version used on the host server from 5.4 to 5.3 and everything worked fine…. Not sure why, whats the tie in to PHP 5.4 but up and running. Something funky, also curiously occurred after Arvixe’s server migration.

I will go and try the .htaccess approach and go back the the 5.4php version and see what happens. (After I get my wife’s web site updated, yes honey, I’m working on it now….;-)

From the referenced Codex I found where to select a file and see/change permissions in cPanel.

WRT what/how the server is running php and if my host is running a shared hosting suexec format, I’m clueless.

Did change the permissions of index.php and .htaccess as described in the Changing_File_Permissions article to more permissive from 644 to 664 and now getting Internal Server Error messages.

Like I said, not an expert, just dangerously curious. Going to backtrack and see what brings me back to even.

BTW, this is a single site install NOT MULTISITE, and I used the “Striker” theme from the WP installation options.
