Thanks for the info guys. But, I definitely want to auto-ping all the links I have in the post. I link to several other blogs. Entering them all manually sounds like more of a pain than deleting all the self-referencing ping backs on my blog manually.

I always use relative paths when linking to my own blog. The pingbacks still go through.

Actually, my problem isn’t that I got a 404. My problem is that hitting “Publish” or “Save” would take forever then send me to a blank page. It’s similar, but not exactly what the originall poster described.

However, my hosting company actually updated their servers last night, and the problem has vanished! Making me believe it was an issue with different versions of software on the server.

New versions on the server:
Apache: 1.3.34 (Unix)
MySQL: 4.1.18-standard
PHP: 4.4.1

My guess is it was moving the MySQL server from 4.0 to 4.1. Maybe WordPress 2.0 doesn’t play with MySQL 4.0 very well?

They moved the files and everything themselves, I didn’t play with anything.

I’m wondering if this issue is a problem with using a different version of mysql, php, or apache.

I don’t get this issue on my local machine, but do on my production server. My production server is RHEL, my local machine is Ubuntu.

The production server is running:
MySQL: 4.0.25-standard
PHP: 4.4.0
Apache: 1.3.33

The local machine is running:
MySQL: 4.1.12-1ubuntu3
PHP: 4.4.03
Apache: 2.0.54-5ubuntu2

The local machine is running Ubuntu breezy. I don’t know how to figure out what version of RHEL the product server is running.

I updated that first mosquito issue linked to in the first post on this thread with how I got permalinks to work.

Basically, as superuser run the command:

a2enmod rewrite

More information in the mosquito issue under the username lev.

A parse error to me means that there’s some invalid php syntax in the wp-config.php file, this is why I suggest remaking the file.

Blind guess, but did you modify wp-config.php a little more than you were supposed to? I’d try regetting an wp-sample-config.php and being careful to only modify the username and password.
