Permanent link mode Error Message
I think I may be going crazy. I have used 4.03 on numerous projects with another host without any issues. I am now attempting to use 4.04 with a new host (godaddy) and I am coming across issues I did not expect.
I have my Permanent link mode = section/id/title. Like I have used on all my other projects. The problem is that when I go to access the articles I get a page can not be found. If I add the “/” after the url the page then is displayed.
Any and all guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Permanent link mode Error Message
Any clues in your diagnostics? Is the 404 page generated by Textpattern, or the web server?

Zem:
Regarding the diagnostics: not that I can see … should I be looking some place in particular …
I think the error is being generated by the server … I have looked at the FAQ, but not sure if that is the direction I need to travel …
I would switch to the messy mode, but I then run into problems with category lists and other functions .. at least I think I do ….
Thanks.

Re: Permanent link mode Error Message
The 404 page does appear to be generated by the web server. That usually indicates a .htaccess problem.

Should I go the route of the FAQ. I just have never messed with the htaccess file so I did not want to do it before checking …

Re: Permanent link mode Error Message
Also, you have some modified Textpattern files; those changes could be the cause.

Good point. I will revert back to the old files to see if that makes a difference.
If not, I will go the route of the htaccess file.
I modified the files to create pull downs for the custom menu and to expand the search into the custom fields.
I thought I was careful, but maybe not careful enough. I will let you know.

I reverted back to unalteretd files with no luck.
I altered the htaccess files, still with no success.
I called the Host and I was told that it is some issue on their side. I am expecting (hoping) it gets resolved today.
Thanks for all the assistance and I will let you know what the answer was.

I received this reply back from GODaddy:
**We have reviewed your hosting account and have deteremined that the error displayed is caused by a mod_rewrite code not allowed to interpret without the trailing “/”. Please make the necessary adjustments to your .htaccess file. **
I tried the FAQ with no success. Any additional guidnace would be greatly appreciated.
