    Yesterday I installed WP onto my server which seemed to work OK. The server also has my old web site on it which was working just fine until the WP install and now I seem to have some permission or DNS issues or something because not a single file outside of wordpress is found. My site is giving error 404 as are any test files I place even in the root of my server. I am on 1and1 internet hosting.

    Any ideas?

    Hi,

    First check your files are intact in the root folder and not overwrite by the wordpress installation. If the are intact then add this code in htaccess and have a check:

    # BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Thanks,

    Shane G.
