    The url is http://www.wifiknight.com

    Recently hostrocket was hacked, and the hacker replaced every index.php file with his own.

    None of my posts or links work anymore.. Why?

    Things to check:

    - htaccess file. Is it there?

    - Error logs. See what your webserver is reporting for an error.

    - File premissions. (My money is on this one) Are your wordpress files set correctly? (ie 644?)

    htaccess is there
    file permissions are set correctly for ALL files and folders
    waiting on the error logs to update so I can paste them here.

    I get this in my browser:
    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@wifiknight.chrisgerling.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    What did your host say?

    (Clarify: You are no longer on hacked server?)

    Yes this is a new host entirely.

    Nothing shows up in the error log, I submitted a ticket asking them what's up.

    The support guy said it was due to mod_rewrite rules, whatever those are.

    Did he elaborate? Does the new host support mod_rewrite?

    Have you visited your Options -> Permalinks page to reset your current permalinks? Try switching to default and then back to whatever you currently have 'em at.

    Ah ha, the permalinks thing did the trick. :)
