• I just installed my blog and after running the setup, I go to login for the first time and get an 404 when I try and goto wp-admin/index.php…

    I figure out I can get around it by going to wp-admin/edit.php and then move around the admin area ok however when I goto post a blog entry – I get 404 error again…

    Whats going on?
    I have no .htaccess file, and this is a fresh install….

    Just tried turning perm links on but that didn’t help. mod_securety is also disabled on the web host.

    should be( HTTP:// not res:// this tells me you have a bad host file.

    C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc,,,,,,you will have to re place the host file you have a bad one this is why you are getting the 404 error…read…..

    I checked my host file and the only entry in there is for local host.

    and that wouldn’t explain why
    http://www.x.com/wp-admin/index.php doesn’t work
    http://www.x.com/wp-admin/edit.php does work..

    I checked on two other machines, on different ISP’s and same error persists.

    Local host,,,,http:// On this page (click properties)for this page you will see http:// Html Document start address ,,,,open www>x.com click properties showes res://
    this is why your page will not open,,,,
    If it reads res:// It’s not going to open the page until it reads http:// yes there is a lot of computers that are affected by it,,,,,bad host file,,,
    I think it was a update that caused this bad file.
    it was ment to stop a lot site from be seen…your cumputer thinks this site is a risk and is why it will not show you it….:)
    good luck,,,,

    Ok, I decided to actually get off my ass and look into the php file it’s self. Seems that the problem for me is caused by the function

    fetch_rss

    so if I comment out the code it works for me now 😉
