# No comments – 404 on wp-comments-posts.php – FIXED!

 * I’ve been searching for a solution to this problem for hours. Everyone seems 
   to be experiencing a problem when visitors try to comment on a post, and they
   get a **404 Page not found** error. This was happening for me on all my sites
   with WP 2.7.1.
 * I’ve seen people in forums talking about resetting permalinks, adding code hacks
   to files, reinstalling WP, disabling plugins, etc. None of that seems to be working
   for anyone. I figured it out!
 * After staring at code for hours, I decided to look at the files on the server
   with my FTP software (WS_FTP Pro). I discovered that the file “wp-comments-posts.
   php” did not have any file attributes (CHMOD values).
 * Furthermore, I could not CHMOD the properties on the file… so I deleted it and
   uploaded a fresh one to replace it. The new copy automatically had security attributes
   of 644 (RW-R-R).
 * I reloaded my site in a browser, completed the comment form, and BINGO, it works!
 * I don’t know why the file lost its CHMOD properties on the server side, but deleting
   and reloading it through my FTP program did the trick.
 * **Comments now work on all my WP sites.**

 * Hi quietcity,
 * I have tried searching this forum to find a solution for my blog, but couldn’t
   find it.
 * Every time I click the submit button for send the comment, I got this error:
 * Not Acceptable
 * An appropriate representation of the requested resource /fxlog/wp-comments-post.
   php could not be found on this server.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request.
 * I’ve checked the wp-comments-post.php permission and it is 644.
    Could you help
   me? Thanks ind advance..
