Thanks for that.

It would be better if we didn’t have to hack the core code though. I’ve just taken 4 hours to find where the last developer tweaked about 10 different places which were overwritten when I updated the gallery

You might have the same problem I’m having

In my case it’s almost certainly because my server is running as fcgi, so I’m going to have to get a server admin to change that, or change server.

Just the basic
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/php5.fcgi
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Nope. That didn’t sort out either issue. Maybe I should stop the server running as CGI, because I’ve had some memory problems too. What would you recommend?

Thanks, that got me searching and thinking.

I tried
SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On
in my htaccess, but that didn’t work either
Your config doesn’t mention mod_rewrite either, but I read somewhere that mod_rewrite doesn’t work if Apache is running as cgi

echo php_sapi_name();

gives me cgi-fcgi

Will that be the problem, do you think?

I’ve always had to do
function got_mod_rewrite() {
//$got_rewrite = apache_mod_loaded(‘mod_rewrite’, true); //old line with false negative;
$got_rewrite = true;//force the response to true as we know mod_rewite is installed;
return apply_filters(‘got_rewrite’, $got_rewrite);
}\
in misc.php to make permalinks work

and the functions.php hack for multisite that I tried was changing
function apache_mod_loaded($mod, $default = false) { …
to
function apache_mod_loaded() {

return true;
}
The original author wasn’t proud of it either ??

I’m hoping that these two problems might help someone pinpoint a server setup problem that I think must be causing it.
