# 404 error after upgrading

 * I have posted this question before but didn’t manage to solve the problem… After
   I’ve upgraded, my site shows error 404 where my entries should go:
    [http://glosses.net](http://glosses.net)
   Archives are not displaying either. My entries are all there, though – when I
   click “view” from the interface, I see the entries (i.e individual archives do
   display). I was told I needed to update my permalink structure. I played with
   the .htaccess but it didnt help… I am not sure exactly what needs to be done.
   many thanks, Renee

 * What I did after upgrade (though almost everything worked 🙂 I just deleted the
   old .htaccess and uploaded an empty files (named .htaccess) to the WP directory,
   then configured the permalinks and > > Update.

 * OK, I tried this before, but maybe I am doing something wrong. I did this again:
 * I uploaded the empty htaccess file. When trying to view the htaccess via WP (
   manage>files>htaccess) I get the following:
    Warning: fread(): Length parameter
   must be greater than 0. in /home/…/wp-admin/templates.php on line 73
 * I went to options>permalinks and updated the permalink structure with the default
   one (/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/)
    after making my htaccess
   writable.
 * Still getting the 404.
    Please help me, I am getting desperate…. 🙁
