I figured it out….

The problem is that during the install process these two lines need special attention:

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) wp/$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ wp/$2 [L]

‘wp/’ didn’t exist on my server, period.

after I got rid of that, everything worked

thanks for the help

I corrected the .htaccess file, replacing opt/stage/http with data/http.
(/data/http was merely a link to /opt/stage/http, so either would work) I fixed it to be consistent, but no change in behavior https://<server/server-status still gives me a WP 404 page not found error

DocumentRoot “/data/http”
# wp root = /data/http/blog

########### WORDPRESS BLOG ###########
#
alias /blog /data/http/blog

<Directory /data/http/blog/wp-admin>
Include conf/permissions.conf
</Directory>

<Directory “/data/http/blog”>
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

#
########### WORDPRESS BLOG ###########

I think I’m at the point where a reinstall is in order. I’m not sure where its picking up the wp/wp-admin reference from. Any last options before I do a do-over.

I’ll be on vacation this week, but I’ll check in from time to time.

Thank you for your quick reply

In: /opt/stage/http/blog/.htaccess

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) wp/$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ wp/$2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

(none of the other subdirs under blog/ have .htaccess files in them. (completely empty)
