Mod_Rewrite Nightmare

  • I’ve had a major hassle with this whole Mod_rewrite stuff.

    It took me a while to figure out how to get this working without having page errors in V1.5. Luckily, the Strayhorn release seemed to fix all my problems.

    Except…. (you knew there would be an except, didn’t you!)

    I upgraded to V1.5 Strayhorn last night for https://www.posiesrodsandcustoms.com. I changed the permalink structure and the pages work now, no more 404…. for me (at home and at work).

    I got a call from the customer today. When they type in the URL, they get a “file download box”. Like their Browser isn’t understanding that the site has a PAGE attached to it. They are using Win 98 and IE 6. (I know, I know… but that’s what they have. And they aren’t going to change, so, let’s not even go there.)

    Many other sites work for them, but I directed them to try a few other installs of WordPress that I know of… and they get the same problem.. A File Download box.

    Any thoughts on what might be causing this problem?

  • update: since the nightlies link is gone, i’ve restarted the nightly changelog list for those on the bleeding edge. also note that a new “official” 1.5 was released with newer files than the original release on the 15th, so the nightly changelog has been started from scratch, based off the newest release.
