   i upgraded my wordpress based blogs a couple of days before and have a weird issue with the paged navigation now.
   i'm using a permalink structure that didn't cause problems in the past and creates links like page/3, page/3 etc for browsing throught categories and posts on the index page. now, this is no longer working on my index page, categories still work fine.
   on index the server throws a 404 - not found, but doesn't deliver my defined 404.php but a self-generated rudimental server page.
   using the standard link structure fixes the problem, but can't be a desired solution since i'd lose a vast amount of links to my posts.

   my webserver definitely supports mod_rewrite, .htaccess directives are the ones proposed by wordpress in the permalink admin section, any combination of activating and deactivating plug-ins doesn't affect the issue, functions used in the template theme aren't deprecated and the database is up-to-date.

   this behaviour was already confirmed by a member of forum.wordpress-deutschland.org but nobody over there as a suggestion.

   maybe some of you guys have a hint on how to solve this mysterious mmisery?

   Had a client with the exact same problem when they upgraded. Are you using the Permalinks plugin by chance?

   Also, I was watching another forum post and they switched the permalink options around and it fixed the issue. Have you tried this?

   hi justinratwebtel, thanks for your quick reply.

   i am not using the permalis plugin. the only plugin i use which touches permalink is paged navigation from andy staines, but this is only a formatting-plugin and de-/activation doesn't change anything.

   i read through a couple of posts concerning permalinks, but didn't find the solution there. maybe you could tell me what post you're refering to?

   hurray, problem solved! love my provider for outstanding support.

   everybody having the same issue as my, try adding

   Options +FollowSymLinks -Multiviews

   to your .htaccess.
