 * Hello,
 * I’ve just started with WordPress and with my blog. I’ve got everything set up
   but when somebody wants to post a comment they get a 404 error page. They can
   fill out all the info but when they hit the submit comment button they get the
   404. What do I do wrong? Many thanks in forward!
 * Martin

 * Just tried to bypass the Mod security because I thought that that might be the
   cause, but unfortunately the three I used below didn’t work, so I’ll have to 
   search somewhere else. Any help is really appreciated!

 * Thinking about re-installing everything. Does anybody know if that fixes the 
   problem?

 * Turned out that the upgrade to 2.7.1 went terribly wrong. Re-installed everything
   and am now up and running again.
