The url concerned and google search query would help a lot in solving your problem

Thanks for your reply miocene22 🙂
The url concerned would be
http://bernetblog.ch/2010/03/10/verweildauer-in-sozialen-netzwerken-steigt-massiv/
In google I did a search for “Verweildauer in Sozialen Netzwerken” and the link to it showed up in the first couple results.
I hope this helps

Oh, that is interesting – it seems to happen when I click on the link here as well.
Previous to this I’ve created a simple html page with a simple link to this url and it worked –> http://test.sitecare.ch/test.php
I still look looking for a solution, but if it helps any the cause of the error is with the link itself. If I just put it in my browser, it works with or without the slash, but not any link in a forum or search engine. Definitely odd. It is possible that something in your .htaccess is causing it, if you can post your .htaccess coding it may help track down the cause.

ooh thanks Kevin! I hadn’t even realised that was a difference!
We’ve got the following htaccess on the server
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Interesting, while other plugins can modify the .htaccess file, this is the default .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
The only difference is that yours has the top index.php rewrite which the default does not. I don’t know if that is what is causing it, but you may want to try commenting out that line (just put a # before it) to see if the first index RewriteRule is causing the issue. You can also try removing the .htaccess altogether, again by renaming it and not deleting it so can you easily re-apply it if the problem still persists.

Thanks for the suggestion Kevin!
I’ve tried modifying the htaccess that way as well as removing it entirely but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to help.
I’ve noticed that if I click on the google result and do a reload on the page I’ll still end up at the 404 site. If however I simply click into my browser’s location bar and hit enter, it will find the page I’m looking for.
Were you able to figure out the issue, lxr? I am experiencing the same problem on a site I’m working on.
I too have tried renaming and modifying the htaccess file but with no luck.
