post.php file gone AWOL

URL please…

I’ve been running my 2.0.4 site for over a month now and not had any problems posting. Today I try to post (second post of the day, it was fine an hour ago) and I get “The requested URL /wp-admin/post.php was not found on this server.” whenever I hit “Save and Continue Editing”…BUT…it’s not consistent. It doesn’t do it everytime, and there’s really no pattern. It’s not liking the word “bobblehead” on my second list item. If I take it out it works, if I put it back it breaks (I’m so not kidding). Otherwise it’s accepting changes a word at a time (most of the time) but if I type a sentence and save it breaks.

The error makes me think it’s not passing all information between pages each time it saves…like querystring data is being forgotten. The file is obviously there or it wouldn’t work at all. I’m really at a loss. Ideas?

Well, maybe sounds like your host did something different with mod_security or something in between there.

Contact your host support staff and inquire if they’ve tightened the mod_security ruleset; also, if they may have upgraded the backend programs: apache, php, mysql.

[And I could see why some hosts might choke on “curl” or “tomcat”, but BOBBLEHEAD?]

Ya I know…weird. That word appears twice previously in the post (not a lot of synonyms for “bobblehead”) so don’t think it’s actually the WORD exactly…just a funky coincidence.

I’m upgrading to 2.05 to see if that has some effect on the situation.

Idle curiosity: if you append “-doll” to “bobblehead” does it still choke and die?

that did not work…neither did the upgrade ??

Okay, then you’re stuck with asking your host tech support.
