 * Common thread I noticed was php issue.
    I changed the version used on the host
   server from 5.4 to 5.3 and everything worked fine…. Not sure why, whats the tie
   in to PHP 5.4 but up and running. Something funky, also curiously occurred after
   Arvixe’s server migration.
 * I will go and try the .htaccess approach and go back the the 5.4php version and
   see what happens. (After I get my wife’s web site updated, yes honey, I’m working
   on it now….;-)

 * From the referenced Codex I found where to select a file and see/change permissions
   in cPanel.
 * WRT what/how the server is running php and if my host is running a shared hosting
   suexec format, I’m clueless.
 * Did change the permissions of index.php and .htaccess as described in the Changing_File_Permissions
   article to more permissive from 644 to 664 and now getting Internal Server Error
   messages.
 * Like I said, not an expert, just dangerously curious. Going to backtrack and 
   see what brings me back to even.

 * BTW, this is a single site install NOT MULTISITE, and I used the “Striker” theme
   from the WP installation options.
