By the way, trust me that I have read, re-read, tried, Googled, and done everything in regard to permalinks since Friday. I really, really am trying to make this work. But it’s one thing or another: a category page won’t show, or the pages themselves won’t show, or the homepage won’t show, or the entire site goes 404.

Is there a thread somewhere here or a web page that shows step-by-step how to do permalinks on an Apache 1.3.33 server? The thing in the wiki is not nearly detailed enough and does not address any of the numerous errors I’ve been getting.

oops…the reason you got a 404 error was that I was experimenting with fixing it and it took the site down a few minutes. It’s back up now.

I don’t know what you mean about using post title for permalinks. As you can see it uses both post title and post number:

https://endometrialcancer.org/uterine-sarcomas-general-information-for-physicians-9

Do you mean you need to have more than one directory in the URL? Like archive/post-title?

What about post-title/post-title?

The “about” page is a permanent page, not a post. I don’t know how it comes up with the permalinks for those.

I’m wondering if the issue could be that I changed the category slug? I can’t remember what it was originally at this point… Maybe I should just delete this category? Then I’d have to move the articles manually to the new category, but that’s not too much trouble.

Any thoughts?

I do have a backup of the database, but I don’t know how to do a restore. How do I do that? I’m using Apache 1.3.33.

I’ve tried doing an upgrade twice now. Still I get error messages. I completely delete what’s on there and then re-upload it (plus the original wp-config file), and the same error. So I think my best bet is just to delete it and start over.

No, I think it’s a problem.

When I went to install a plugin I got an internal server error, below:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, *****@**endometrialcancer.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
