Sheds a very clear light on the matter. </p> <p>Ok, Jo0lz, let's do that then. Thanks. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224111#post-972958 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 19:20:05 +0000 novada 972958@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I stumbled across the same problem after moving to a host that uses Mod Security. In my case my post was triggering a SQL Injection attack warning so Mod Security was 404 redirecting the request. </p> <p>Mod Security was concerned because my post contained the word "select" followed by the word "from". It did not seem to care that these words were 2 paragraphs apart? </p> <p>Has WordPress worked with Mod Security on this issue and do they have any recommendations? Is disabling Mod Security the best option. If so should it be done in the directory that WordPress is installed in or should it be done just in the /wp-admin directory? I would hope that WordPress does not have any SQL Injection vulnerabilities. If so is it safe to tell Mod Security to not worry about POSTS/GETS to /wp-admin/page.php </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224111#post-966276 Sun, 25 Jan 2009 21:15:22 +0000 Jo0Lz 966276@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>You can try putting in the following code<br /> <pre><code># BEGIN 404 Fix &lt;IfModule mod_security.c&gt; SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterPost Off &lt;/IfModule&gt; # END 404 Fix</code></pre> <p>instead of<br /> <pre><code># BEGIN 404 Fix &lt;IfModule mod_env.c&gt; SetEnv MODSEC_ENABLE Off PassEnv MODSEC_ENABLE &lt;/IfModule&gt; # END 404 Fix</code></pre> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224111#post-962881 Thu, 22 Jan 2009 02:23:58 +0000 jonathanlimusic 962881@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>editing the .htaccess file didn't work for me either </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224111#post-962879 Thu, 22 Jan 2009 02:19:18 +0000 jonathanlimusic 962879@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>editing the .htaccess file didn't work for me either </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224111#post-958012 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 19:41:12 +0000 Hanenwurger 958012@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Editing a comment works fine, unlike the post. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224111#post-957053 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 20:28:55 +0000 Hanenwurger 957053@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Unfortunately the .htaccess modifications didn't work for me, same goes for the avatar-plugin. </p> <p>From what I heard, modifying the .htaccess file can solve a lot of issues, but it's advised to leave this file as it is. It <em>did</em> solve some of the WP-issues I had before 2.7, but it seems like the bugs got resistant now :)</p> <p>I'm sure your method will help a lot of users struggling with this issue, but as you mentionned: answers from WP-experts might give a fully waterproof solution.</p> <p>Eitherway, thanks for the time and energy you've put in this fix - I think it will help most of the people out who are landing on this page. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224111#post-956535 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 10:46:39 +0000 Jo0Lz 956535@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Okay, I've found a fix, but I'm no server expert, so I don't know if I just created a security issue, but here goes.</p> <p>I've been having this problem for a while now, and I am convinced that it's a server configuration issue. This is because on my home server and several other Wordpress installation, this error does not occur. It's strange however, that this problem only arises after installing WP 2.7.</p> <p>There are a few changes I made to the .htaccess file, in order to find a solution by using a "trial and error" method. (Thanks Hanewurger, your post helped me out A LOT!)</p> <p>Here's what I added to the .htaccess file:<br /> <pre><code># BEGIN 404 Fix &lt;IfModule mod_env.c&gt; SetEnv MODSEC_ENABLE Off PassEnv MODSEC_ENABLE &lt;/IfModule&gt; #END 404 Fix</code></pre> <p>The original (Wordpress generated) .htaccess looked like this:<br /> <pre><code># BEGIN WordPress &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] &lt;/IfModule&gt; # END WordPress</code></pre> <p>So, after my edit, the .htaccess looks like this:<br /> <pre><code># BEGIN WordPress &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] &lt;/IfModule&gt; # END WordPress # BEGIN 404 Fix &lt;IfModule mod_env.c&gt; SetEnv MODSEC_ENABLE Off PassEnv MODSEC_ENABLE &lt;/IfModule&gt; #END 404 Fix</code></pre> <p>The 404 errors after updating posts are now solved. However, I'm not an expert, but why does this happen, and why do I have to make this adjustment? I wonder if this causes any security problems on my domain... Is there anyone who can shed some light on this issue?</p> <p>@Hanewurger, maybe you can try this solution and see if that Avatar Plug-in issue is solved as well?</p> <p>@Danielbachhuber, in the link that Hanewurger provided is some information on other possible solutions. You might want to try them out, because the post was really there to help solve "Error 500" issues.</p> <p>Hope anyone is helped by this, and I hope someone can shed some light on the security questions ;)</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Jo0Lz. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224111#post-946606 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:05:00 +0000 danielbachhuber 946606@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I've got the same problem on two instances of Wordpress, although they're exhibiting different behavior. On my personal site, I only get "Error 500" right after I publish a post and when I try to delete a post. On an organizational site, I get "Error 500" on every URL including /wp-admin/. That problem occurred when I tried to reactivate the plugins after a manual upgrade. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224111#post-945037 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 21:54:06 +0000 Hanenwurger 945037@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>It doesn't have anything to do with activated plug-in's either, eventhough the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-local-avatar/">avatar plug-in</a> suffers from this issue. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224111#post-942505 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 12:56:17 +0000 Hanenwurger 942505@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p><a href="http://abing.gotdns.com/posts/2006/wordpress-error-404-when-publishing-or-saving-post/">This</a> looks similar... </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224111#post-941661 Thu, 01 Jan 2009 09:58:51 +0000 Jo0Lz 941661@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Ok, weird thing. I've posted a "happy new year" blog post.<br /> I can update that post fine, it returns to the edit screen, with the message "post updated".</p> <p>But, a post about christmas presents, still gives me the 404 after updating... :D</p> <p>Navigating away from the admin panel, and moving back in, editing the same "happy new year" post, again gives me that 404 error.</p> <p>In the case of error 404, it redirects to message=1, but earlier it was redirecting to message=6...</p> <p>I'm at a loss here... </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224111#post-941447 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 22:33:37 +0000 Hanenwurger 941447@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Cheers man, keep us posted! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224111#post-940436 Tue, 30 Dec 2008 18:34:10 +0000 Jo0Lz 940436@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Okay, I found out the piece of URI produced by pressing the "update post" button, that doesn't work, but do not yet know how to fix it.</p> <p>The URI that I get redirected to:<br /> <a href="http://mysite.x/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&#38;post=27&#38;_wp_original_http_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.x%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit.php&#38;message=1" rel="nofollow">http://mysite.x/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&#38;post=27&#38;_wp_original_http_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.x%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit.php&#38;message=1</a></p> <p>The URI that works:<br /> <a href="http://mysite.x/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&#38;post=27&#38;_wp_original_http_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.x%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit.php" rel="nofollow">http://mysite.x/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&#38;post=27&#38;_wp_original_http_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.x%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit.php</a></p> <p>But it doesn't show the "Post updated.

The 404 error persists.</p> <p>I'm going to update another blog, hope that the error won't appear there... If it doesn't, it still is going to be a pain to find out what is causing it.

The post is there, I can view it in the list, and as a single post just fine. Any ideas as to what's causing this?</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
