Editing plugins gives 404
I just installed Txp, and I’ve installed two plugins which allow you to configure their behaviour by editing the installed plugin. However in the plugin editor, whenever I click ‘save’ I get a 404 not found error page (with /textpattern/index.php in the address bar). How do I fix this?
EDIT: It only seems to happen with Sencer’s asy_sitemap plugin, not tru_tags (the only other plugin I have installed)

Re: Editing plugins gives 404
Temporarily remove your .htaccess in the root directory.
What is probably happening, is that the server is generating some error, like a 500, 503, … and Apache cannot find the specified error-document (the one from apache’s conf.) and then it generates and addtional 404 for the error-document, which (due to clean urls) is handled by textpattern.
The actual reason for the error is probably too strict mod-security settings or something similar, meant to protect your site from hacking/spam/…

Re: Editing plugins gives 404
I’ve removed my htaccess file, and the ‘actual’ error is an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. I’ve tried changing the permissions of my txp index.php to 755 (from 644), but that hasn’t solved the problem.

This has nothing to do with permissions.
The fact that it happens with some plugins, and not with other is a very strong indicator that:

Contact your host and ask about it.

Re: Editing plugins gives 404
OK, I was wondering whether to cancel my switch to textpattern anyway, thanks for your help
