# Comments submit = 404 error

 * I searched and could find any reference to this, so I guess I’ll start a new 
   thread. I’ve got a really odd problem with comments. When a comment is submitted,
   I get the following error:
    The requested URL /usr/www/users/stickyc/stickyc/
   public_html/^http://74.64.2.78/$ was not found on this server.
 * (the “/usr/www/users/stickyc/stickyc/public_html/” is indeed the correct path)
 * This shows regardless of whether the user is logged in or not. I was getting 
   this under 2.0.1? and just upgraded to 2.0.4 and still get it.
    I’ve also tried
   the following with no success: Disabling all plugins. Changing themes. Disabling
   all trackback/pingback/etc options I could find.
 * The really ironic thing is that spambots that circumvent the form are getting
   through (only to be trapped by SK2). So, only spammers can comment 🙂
 * Pretty much everything got replaced in the upgrade, so I’m not really sure where
   to turn.

 * It turns out there was some sort of error in either the permalink or .htaccess
   structure. Changing the permalink format and updating my .htaccess file fixed
   the issue (thanks to the folks on IRC for that one!).
