 * Ok, thanks for the response Yosemite. I tried the advice in the link you suggested
   without success. However, what I did find out was that there is no .htaccess 
   file in my root directory.
 * And I also remembered that in WP, I clicked on “Options” and changed my blog 
   address and site address to read:
 * [http://www.mydomain.com/index.php](http://www.mydomain.com/index.php)
 * I never got the 404 Error prior to doing this. But, I still haven’t been able
   to fix it.
 * Now, I guess my problems are more involved. 1). Should I change my vars.php file
   back to what it originally was? 2). Now that I know (kinda) what I did wrong,
   is it possible to get back into WP and fix it? Or is there some fix I can do 
   with my FTP Client? 3). What can I do about the no .htaccess file? (When I opened
   WP in the past and was screwing around with it, it said there was no .htaccess
   file on the server.)
 * Thanks again….
