Title: Install multiple problems Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Install multiple problems * Resolved [Mandrake7062](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mandrake7062/) * (@mandrake7062) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/) * I’m having a lot of problems here and I’m not sure where to start. I have FTP access. * Activated BulletProof Security .htaccess File The htaccess file that is activated in your root folder is: BULLETPROOF PRO 5.D DEFAULT .HTACCESS * Either a BPS htaccess file was NOT found in your root folder or you have not activated BulletProof Mode for your Root folder yet, Default Mode is activated, Maintenance Mode is activated or the version of the BPS Pro htaccess file that you are using is not the most current version or the BPS QUERY STRING EXPLOITS code does not exist in your root htaccess file. Please view the Read Me Help button above. * wp-config.php is NOT htaccess protected by BPS * Deny All protection NOT activated for BPS Master /htaccess folder Deny All protection NOT activated for /wp-content/bps-backup folder * I’m not sure what to do at this point. I’ve upgraded to the latest BPS and this may have compounded the problem, I don’t know. * The original install took place with my website ftp login as: x And my WordPress logins at: y Not realizing this might be a bad thing I tried to create all the files I needed with text editors, and ftp and rename them into place I now login with both WP and FTP site the same now. * Any body care to help me sort this out. 404 on any test page. Not that I want to build a site until this is straightened out. Kenny * A valid BPS htaccess file was NOT found in your wp-admin folder. Either you have not activated BulletProof Mode for your wp-admin folder yet or the version of the wp-admin htaccess file that you are using is not the most current version. BulletProof Mode for the wp-admin folder MUST also be activated when you have BulletProof Mode activated for the Root folder.

BPS does not work on your Server due to whatever your Host Server is doing. Delete BPS and the .htaccess file in the root folder and the wp-admin folder. 😉 * Thread Starter [Mandrake7062](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mandrake7062/) * (@mandrake7062) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/page/5/#post-4009199) * Back up. So can I ask my host about this prior post and the one were running. Maybe get a print out of that file? * Yep in theory they should work now that the 404 issue is taken care of, but you may have an additional issue with what your Server allows in .htaccess files. Since the permalink required index.php then most likely the Server httpd.conf file needs to have additional directive settings added. * Rough idea Example (this is for a XAMPP vhost Server configuration, but LAMP/ Ubuntu Servers are similar): * [http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/wordpress-ssl-htaccess-code-rewrite-ssl-rewritecond-server_port/#post-7291](http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/wordpress-ssl-htaccess-code-rewrite-ssl-rewritecond-server_port/#post-7291) * What is important is this: * The httpd.conf file must be allowing AllowOverride All or else things (.htaccess directives) will not be allowed in .htaccess files. Before going too deep again just use the AutoMagic buttons and activate Root BulletProof Mode and see what happens. If you see a 500 error then delete the root .htaccess file again to get the site back up. You will then have to check the Server config or you will have to comment out security filters one by one to find out what is not allowed on your Server. * This is the Directory directive setting in the httpd.conf file that should be set to AllowOverride All. * Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order Allow,Deny Allow from all * Plugin Author [AITpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aitpro/) * (@aitpro) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/page/5/#post-4009211) * Yep, if you really want to figure this out then at this point you will need to ask your host what is and is not allowed in .htaccess files. What I recommend is that you send them the BPS root .htaccess file so that they can look at it and compare it to what they are allowing or not allowing on their/your Server.
