Form, categories pages giving 404 error
Hello, so I finally uploaded my website on my server and was doing some minor changes. Then I found that form page is not loading, later also found that categories page is also not loading. Both give 404 error.
I did some digging and found this article, looks like it talks about the same problem as mine but I have clean URLs working fine on my server.
Diagnostic reports just give this warning, nothing about messy URLs as they seem to. Be working really fine. I’m totally clueless about what’s wrong.
The following PHP functions (which may be necessary to run Textpattern) are disabled on your server: show_source, phpinfo, allow_url_fopen, fsockopen
Can anyone enlighten me about this?
Thanks for your time.

Have you confirmed that the .htaccess file is in place?

Re: Form, categories pages giving 404 error
Thank you for your reply Matt.
The .htaccess I am using is just the one that comes with Textpattern.
It is as follows, kindly check :
#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 0Is there anything I should change in .htaccess.

You can see the Textile code when you click that post’s Edit link.
Sorry I can’t help with your issue. If you had problems saving categories, forms, preferences, that’s something I’ve heard of yet, but not a problem when opening these.
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

It may also be worth asking your host if it could be a modsecurity2 problem, which cannot be turned off by htaccess, but can be turned off on account level by your host.

Re: Form, categories pages giving 404 error
I just removed the .htaccess file that comes with textpattern by default and tried to access the categories page and got following error
Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /textpattern/index.php could not be found on this server.It’s also giving 406 Not Acceptable Error. Does this leads anywhere? Is it just a file-permission problem or a faulty .htaccess file?
I hope someone will find this useful.
Thanks for your time.

You should definitely check with your hosting provider. Textpattern does not produce 406 responses itself. Looks like a host-implied security measure.

Thanks Wet,
I did check with hosting provider, and they have not been very helpful. All they did was reset all the file & directory permissions on my hosting. Atleast, thats what they told me. Following is their reply to my request to disable mod_security.
We would like to update you that as we already given required permissions to your account please check below permission given by us to your account

As I’ve learnt, it sure seems like problem caused by mod_security2. But there’s no way it can be disabled by .htaccess or php.ini file.
I’ve no idea what to do now, I’ll probably just switch to better hosting provider in next month.
