• Hello there, I run a site called callelatina.no. At the moment I only have a maintenance mode running, as that will hide my problem – but only for a few days as we intend to open it for the public on November 1st. My ISP is a well known actor in the Norwegian market, Netpower AS.

    My problem is that I can access all parts of my blog, where I have Twenty Thirteen installed. I had some initial problems with uploading images, but after having fiddled with the folders rights in Filezilla I managed to upload them.

    But one thing I cannot do, it to open a page or a post. Whenever I try to do so, I only get “Not Found. The requested document was not found on this server. Web Server at callelatina.no.”

    But I can open the document in the editor, as well as the page. I can type new text, add images etc. and I can publish the updates. I can even create new pages and publish them. Still they won’t display.

    My suspicion is the poor information I have had from my ISP, that I put into the wp-config.php.

    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘I have created a database’);

    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘I have created a database user’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘The password works’);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    This part is where I question the information I was given. First I entered an IP-address, but the support people told me that I should rather enter “localhost.”

    Does anyone have an opinion whether this may be what is wrong? Or may it be that this whole thing is nothing more than a setting in the dashboard?

    I know I may be asking silly questions, but as I do this once every second year I can’t remember them all … hope someone can help me.

    Regards,

    Bent, Norway

    If the MySQL hostname (localhost) was wrong your site would not have worked at all. The problem seems to be somewhere else. Try deactivating all plugins and see if the problems persist.

    Dear Krishna, thanks a lot.

    I have tried that, and the response is still the same. Any other suggestions?

    http://www.callelatina.no is the site. I have deactivated all plugins. The only ones that are installed are Akismet, Hello Dolly and Ultimate Maintenance Mode. None are active right now, so I hope someone can give me a clue.

    You may reinstall WordPress from your dashboard (Click the reinstall button) and see if it helps.

    I have had a suggestion from a friend that the server runs in safe mode and that wp doesn’t get write access to various files on the server. By trying to change the permalinks, a warning “You should update your .htaccess now” appears.

    Problem is, I could not find that ***dy file all night last night. And from my office I cannot run ftp-servers, due to restrictions.

    Any comments on where I can find the .htaccess-file? I have installed wp directly under the httpdocs … which i believe is the root folder.

    Regards, Bent

    It’s a permalink thing, I suspect that your .htaccess file isn’t writeable. It’s going to be in the root of your installation but is a dot file so may appear hidden to you.

    If you can “show all files” you should see it.

    Yes WPRanger, you seem to be right. Set at the default setting all pages show as they are supposed to, even though the file-names doesn’t make sense.

    For the time being i will set it to default, and deal with the .htaccess when I get home.

    Thanks!

    Regards, Bent
