duh, “AllowOverride None”… panic over! oops!
Just had an idea.. I changed my .htaccess to contain
AuthUserFile /home/xx/blog.willboyce.com/html/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName “Is Apache Processing .htaccess?”
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>
made .htpasswd and tried to access my blog… I was not asked for a password and there was nothing extra written to error.log… my guess would be apache is ignoring my .htaccess files? Any ideas why?
Sorry, I shuold’ve said – I used to use the “/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/” permalink structure, but it no longer works, hence using the ?p=X nonsense 😉
I followed the instructions in Moving_WordPress but I don’t see how my error could be related to wordpress either? It seems as though apache isn’t processing the redirect to me?
