Can't edit pages

Apologies if this has been answered somewhere else.

A site has recently stopped saving edits on pages. I can open the pages, change things but when I click save I get “404 Not Found – The requested resource was not found.”

I tried closing all the plug-ins, I’ve upgraded to 4.4.1. Still couldn’t save any changes.

For instance I can go to "http://www.shikota.net.au/textpattern/index.php?event=article&step=edit&ID=44" and edit it in the browser but I can’t save any changes, just get a 404 error. The one page I can edit is the front page "http://www.shikota.net.au".

I’m wondering if it’s a htaccess thing? The htaccess file is straight out of txp 4.14

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

#Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options -Indexes
#ErrorDocument 403 default

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/

	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
	RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]

	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
	RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

	RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization}  !^$
	RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0

If anyone has any ideas I’d be very grateful.

Re: Can't edit pages

Although the chances are that it might indeed be a problem to be solved with the htaccess file, did you check that there are not any problems with your database?

Re: Can't edit pages

This might be a side effect of a security measure (mod_security) your host has set up.

Try to add these lines to your .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Re: Can't edit pages

wet, added those lines to htaccess; didn’t fix it.

Dragondz, turned Send “Last-Modified” header? to “no”; didn’t fix it.

colak, I’m not sure how i’d check the integrity of the database. Can you point me to a how-to article? Is there a plug-in that can check. Apart from this (fairly major!) screw up it seems to be OK otherwise.

Thanks everyone.

Re: Can't edit pages

Hi dnadul

For checking db you can use phpMyAdmin (your host must provide you that in hosting panel)

Re: Can't edit pages

Also if your db is ok and the problem persists try to see what happens if you add these two lines at the top of your htaccess file

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

Re: Can't edit pages

Yeah, did a check with MyPHPAdmin, all seems fine.

I think that because one page (the front page) is editable then it’s not a db issue.

Like I said, htaccess seems the logical place to look because it seems to be an access to the website issue. Sorry, it’s been a long day and I’m not being very clear.

Will keep trying, thanks for your help.

Re: Can't edit pages

Thanks Colak, tried the two lines – got “500 internal server error”.

I appreciate the effort my friend.

Re: Can't edit pages

Try one line at a time. Sometimes just the first line solves the problem

Re: Can't edit pages

Check with your host which version of mod_security you are using….

If its mod_security2, I don’t think you can turn this off using htaccess… You will have to ask your host to do this by editing the http.conf

Re: Can't edit pages

Alas Colak, even one at a time both lines caused “Internal Server error” – no website to be seen at all.
