   to the admin area.
 * No access to WordPress at all this morning, removing jetpack from the plugins
   folder cured it.

 * I’m on WP 3.4.2 & WP SEO 1.2.8.5. I’m getting the same 404 as the OP but
 * a) Don’t understand where to put the rewrite rules (I’m using NginX)
    b) [@rahul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rahul/),
   I’m just using the ‘You can find your XML Sitemap here’ button in the plugin
 * Also just noticed that the plugin isn’t generating a new sitemap after creating
   a new post

 * Figured it out, I found some code on [this site](http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_connect.asp)
   which, when placed in a .php file & run on the web server, checked MySQL connectivity
   for any particular user. This is the error I got –
 * `Could not connect: mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using the old insecure
   authentication. Please use an administration tool to reset your password with
   the command SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('your_existing_password'). This will store
   a new, and more secure, hash value in mysql.user. If this user is used in other
   scripts executed by PHP 5.2 or earlier you might need to remove the old-passwords
   flag from your my.cnf file`
 * After a bit of Googling, I commented out the old-passwords line from my.cnf &
   restarted MySQL server. I then re-applied the password for the database user 
   using the syntax from [this site](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/set-password.html),
   once that was all done I was able to install WordPress

   them. I haven’t made any mistakes & still get the same error in WordPress

 * He might be seeing what I’m seeing on a fresh 3.4.1 install –
 * Error establishing a database connection
 * This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.
   php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This
   could mean your host’s database server is down.
 *  Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    Are you sure that 
   you have typed the correct hostname? Are you sure that the database server is
   running?
 * If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host.
   If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.
 * I’ve double checked my database & database user settings & everything’s correct

 * I’m sure there used to be a facility in an earlier version of WordPress to do
   this from the edit page of individual pages or somewhere (just with a drop-down
   list of themes or something).

 * Well I think I’ll have to mark this as unresolveable. Taking that line out just
   produces a blank area instead of that line.
 * I’ve set a custome error page in Litespeed, but I guess if I can’t get WordPress
   to generate 404’s, that will never be used.

 * Ah!! we’re getting somewhere, found this in the index.php of my theme –
 * <?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?>
 * That explains where the text is being generated, I guess I should rewrite that
   line to call the 404.php page, but I’ve no idea how.

 * Thanks for the reply,
 * I already have a (modified) 404.php shipped with the theme I use but WordPress
   isn’t using it (according to these snippets from your link it should be)
 * As I stated in my 1st post, all I get is ‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’
   with a 200 reponse rather than a 404 (no idea what’s generating that text).
 * ‘When a user clicks on a link to a missing page, the web server will send the
   user an error message such as 404 Not Found’
 * ‘The normal 404.php page shipped with your Theme will work’
