   After a fresh installation of WP 2.8.4 at http://spiritualdenver.com, I created pages for the menu bar. At first these worked great, but then i started getting a 404 error - pages not found on the server.

   E.g.
   http://spiritualdenver.com/classes/
   yield this error message:

   Not Found

   The requested URL /classes/ was not found on this server.

   Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

   Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.8 Server at spiritualdenver.com Port 80

   I wonder if a clue might be in the reference to "FrontPage" -- which the site does not use, but I'm really unsure about this.

   Another clue is that the .htaccess file contains this code:

   # -FrontPage-

   IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

   <Limit GET POST>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   allow from all
   </Limit>
   <Limit PUT DELETE>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   </Limit>
   AuthName spiritualdenver.com
   AuthUserFile /home/spiritua/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
   AuthGroupFile /home/spiritua/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

   FYI, Permalinks are set to a custom structure of "/%postname%/"

   So, that's as much as I know so far that may be relevant. Help please? I cannot build the rest of the site until i get this resolved.

   If you are not using FrontPage Extension, I suggest you to uninstall it from your cPanel. Also, make sure that your host has enable mod_rewrite Apache module.

   SOLUTION FOUND!

   Turned out that most of the text in the .htaccess file related ro Frontpage, specifically,

   # -FrontPage-

   IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

   <Limit GET POST>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   allow from all
   </Limit>
   <Limit PUT DELETE>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   </Limit>
   AuthName spiritualdenver.com
   AuthUserFile /home/spiritua/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd

   Deleting all of this text from the .htaccess file instantly resolved the problem. I'm going to leave this item posted here on the forum for anyone else who runs into the same problem.
