# options-permalink.php Not Found?

 * I’m having an odd issue that I’m hoping for some help with. I’m seeing this in
   2 different 3.4.1 builds on different servers.
 * I’ve had both sites running for years with no mishap, however I’m now having 
   trouble with my permalinks. Most notably, I’m getting a 404 error when I attempt
   to access my options-permalinks.php file. I can confirm that it’s where it needs
   to be and its file contents appear sound.
 * Has anyone else had this issue? I’ve attempted to remove and recreate a fresh.
   htaccess file but this isn’t helping. Thoughts? Thanks!

 * I ran this by my server host and it appears to have been an issue with ModSecurity
   blocking some plugins due to a pattern match (specifically an issue with jQuery’s
   Touch UI). I’m not entirely sure how or why this would have affected options-
   permalinks.php, but having them whitelist the specific IDs that were blocked 
   has fixed the problem.
 * I’ll post any follow up information to this thread, but to anyone else having
   this problem you may want to contact your server host/admin as it may not be 
   something you can fix via WordPress or FTP.
