 * I am trying out the WP Document Revisions plug-in and I am able to upload documents–
   but when I try to either view or download a successfully uploaded document I 
   get a 404 error.
 * So I upload my document, say test.pdf, and a file appears in:
 * htdocs\wptest\wp-content\uploads\20123
 * with the hashed file name.
 * I have set the workflow state to ‘initial draft’; visibility to ‘public’ and 
   have clicked update so that the status is ‘published’.
 * The permalink shown is:
 * Permalink: [http://hostname/wptest/documents/2012/03/test.pdf](http://hostname/wptest/documents/2012/03/test.pdf)
 * (for security reasons, clearly the hostname is a dummy here!)
 * When I click on either ‘download’ or ‘view’ I get the following message from 
   my webserver software:
 * Error 404
 * Not Found
 * Powered by Abyss Web Server X1
    Copyright © Aprelium – 2001-2011
 * Any ideas why this is happening?
 * I’d really like to get this resolved because on the face of it this plug-in looks
   like just what I need to manage our documentation.

 * Check your server logs. If it’s your server software’s 404, that means the request
   is not even hitting WordPress. Problem is someplace in server config / rewrite
   rules.
