Comments go to 404

kontan, go start your own thread.

pshoeg, where do you see what? your error logs? does your host use cpanel? is there a logs folder that you see when you access your files using an ftp client? do you see any error_log files mixes in with your regular files?

It uses cpanel… The tail of the log file says:

[Fri Jan 2 00:28:23 2009] [crit] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] (13)Permission denied: /hsphere/local/home/xxx/xxx.com/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable.

But that is almost two hours ago according to my timezone.

pshoeg. yah thats not what we are looking for. but no errors is a good thing.

im out of ideas. were it me, i would move all the wordpress files into root, and change the 2 settings in the db. you cant really test by installing another instance of wp in the root that since your index.php is there. well you could, but you would need to rename it first.

You talked about, that it didn’t save the comment id… Is it maybe because some file is chmoded wrong?

No. and honestly, what I suggested should result in some sort of php error.

Okay, so I moved all the files to the root and changed it in the settings, but still – the comments don’t work!

trying to prevent having multiple threads with similar issues whooami

nevermind.

I just received an e-mail from my blog:

That’s the only text… No IP, no e-mail, no nothing…

change your permalinks to defualt? and why are there still files in your site directory?

Oops… Sorry about that…

Okay, now I’ve changed the permalinks to default, but it still doesn’t work… I really appreciate that you put so much effort in this!

But now it’s a blank page, and not a 404…

ok, so now that resulting page is blank — whats in that error log now?

There’s a lot of “File does not exist” errors for some images, and some posts, and then there’s this:

[Fri Jan 2 02:36:50 2009] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] File does not exist: /hsphere/local/home/xxx/xxx.com/site/wp-comments-post.php

But of course it isn’t there, as the entire folder has been moved to the root instead.

ok, but thats why I had you update the 2 urls when you moved the files. wordpress should be able to find that file, if you did that.

I would be interested in looking at what youve done, both via ftp and inside your admin area ( a screenshot of the url setting would satisfy that though), though it would help to be able to 1.) change your theme, and 2) disable your plugins, as I putz around.

If youre game, email me at whoo(AT)village-idiot(dot)org

Okay, I’ve send you an e-mail with a username.

i’ll reply via email as soon as I get it.
