# Almost no 404s

 * I’ve got a problem with my blog, which makes me crazy.
 * If you call up the non-existing page
    [http://wuerzblog.de/2007/03/26/gibt-es-nicht](http://wuerzblog.de/2007/03/26/gibt-es-nicht)
   you get my 404-errorpage and and statuscode 404. Fine.
 * But if you call up the also non-existing page
    [http://wuerzblog.de/2007/03/26/gibt-es-nicht](http://wuerzblog.de/2007/03/26/gibt-es-nicht)
   you will see the mainpage of the blog and get a statuscode 200. Bad, very bad.
 * But why?
 * Here’s my .htaccess
 *     ```
       # BEGIN FAlbum
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteRule ^fotos/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?$ /wp-content/plugins/falbum/wp/album.php?$1=$2&$3=$4&$5=$6&$7=$8 [QSA,L]
       </IfModule>
       # END FAlbum
   
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
       ```
   
 * (I already deleted the FAlbum-part and/or the ErrorDocument-Line – no change.)
 * I’m using this permalink-stucture:
    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
 * What else for interest? PHP 5.2.0, mod_rewrite on (so my provider told me).
 * Any kind of help is welcome. 🙂

 * Arghh, sorry.
 * The second link should by
    http://wuerzblog.de/does-not-exist
   
    or [http://wuerzblog.de/gsdfg72rgwf7sdgf8zf98](http://wuerzblog.de/gsdfg72rgwf7sdgf8zf98)
   or whatever you want.

 * allright… I’m sure you’ve noticed this, but…
 * one’s (the one that works) pointing into a directory structure and the other 
   is pointing into the root directory. I don’t know enough about .htaccess to say
   what to do (I’m going to search around for something and see what I come up with)
 * but I’m guessing it’s somewhere in this
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * Specifically in the rewrite rule

 * Yes, if i call up a non-existent page within the permalink-structure (if you 
   know whar i mean), everything’s fine.
 * But if i call up a page out of the structure, the mainpage instead the 404-page
   is shown.

 * I _had_ the UTW-plugin installed a time before, but now i use the Simple Tagging-
   plugin.
 * BTW: I’ve already deactivated _all_ plugins and updated the permalink-structure–
   with no effect for this problem. 🙁
