 * Mika, Ok works for me, I’ll just stop worrying about what nonsense search engine
   robots come up with… Thanks! You Rock!

 * Thanks Mika, I really appreciate your views on this 🙂
 * It does not exist, its just an example of something that does not exist. Its 
   not the most important thing in the world for sure 🙂 I have been ignoring it
   a long time but for any never existing, non existing or previously existing but
   no longer existing .php file it just seems like the stock .htaccess does not 
   handle it elegantly as it does for other file types or as I would imagine designed.
   Or I’m being blind, missing a dot or a t cross somewhere…
 * Mostly it became more of a focus of my error_log obsession when I switched the
   primary domain from shadowshift.com to hashbang.xyz and more search engine links
   were incorrect, going to generic error pages, not pointing back to a screen users
   could just click on home or whatever to start again… Both my 3.9.1 MultiSites
   and my one 4.0 Alpha MultiSite exhibit this behavior.
 * I haven’t really taken the time yet to understand the RewriteRule programming
   and I haven’t noticed ill effects of commenting the line out (yet!) so I’m hoping
   someone can point me in right direction first.

       # RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
       ```
   
 * That is were I got it. Somehow I missed a \ in the line above in my original 
   posts here but the \ is in my .htaccess, here is where I got it:

 * Hi, what settings?
 * Just to be clearer, it is with any non-existent php file base domain, subdomains
   and mapped domains. This is what I would expect to happen:
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/forum/non-existent.php](http://wordpress.org/support/forum/non-existent.php)
 * This is what happens with recommended .htaccess:
 * [http://dev.hashbang.xyz/support/forum/non-existent.php](http://dev.hashbang.xyz/support/forum/non-existent.php)
 * This is what happens with line commented out # RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
 * [http://hashbang.xyz/support/forum/non-existent.php](http://hashbang.xyz/support/forum/non-existent.php)
 * Not really sure why the php files need a RewriteRule? Or what the disadvantage
   of commenting it out would be. Seems like it must be there for some reason 🙂

 * Jose,
    Pinpointed it a little more, installed RC2 and its broken there. RC1 working,
   RC2 & RC3 not working. Thanks!

 * Jose,
    As per email, all things equal, upgrading from RC1 to RC3 broke it. I’m
   guessing that some change after RC1 is the culprit. I’m you want access to the
   VM let me know in email. I’m rather partial to the combination of WangGuard and
   Login Security solution compared to WordFence and you are the greatest so I’ll
   be happy to help any way I can. Thanks!

 * Jose,
    That’s not it, it’s uninstalled for now but I have a development and test
   VM woohoo.shadowshift.com which has RC1 on it and Login Security Solution and
   it works fine interestingly enough. Thinking I will upgrade it to RC3 and see
   if that breaks it. I can also give you access if that would help diagnose it.
   Thanks!

 * FYI removing Login Security Solution didn’t change the situation, the questions
   still don’t show and [splog@wangguard.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shadowshiftcom/replies/splog@wangguard.com?output_format=md)
   doesn’t block (I changed the previous entries in MySQL so you can reuse the email…)
   Dang, WangGuard is my #1 favorite plugin too 🙁

 * I did start using Login Security Solution a few weeks ago, originally I was thinking
   that would affect the Login page and WangGuard would affect the registration 
   page, faulty thinking huh?

 * FYI the cron job seems to clean the sploggers out fine, I started running that
   frequently; they just manage to get in which surprised me because they never 
   did that before…

 * Ok José fixed me up, I needed to install php-mbstring.x86_64 and it is working
   now. Seriously great plug-in and extraordinary support (and I work for a software
   developer support team, I do not say that lightly)
 * Thanks José You Rock!
