 * Thank You, Shayne.
 * I will reconfigure and test. I think this will solve my problem.

 * yes sir the:
 * `http://mydomain.com/Climate/ClimateNormalsCollective_EOLWY.pdf` does work.
 * This then is the format I should have in my html that calls this page, correct?
 * `<li><a href="//mydomain.com/Climate/ClimateNormalsCollective_EOLWY.pdf"><font
   color="red">*NEW*</font> Climate Normals Collective for EOLWY</a></li>`
 * Guess I need to change and remove all my server IP entries. Hmm. These used to
   work until recently. I wonder what changed?

 * Thanks for the reply. Yes my WP install is in /var/www/html.
 * Our site is internal to our agency…so I imagine it is firewalled from the ‘net.
 * I am wondering which format I should use.

 * Further troubleshooting has shown that the link with the server IP will not work,
   but a link with the server name substituted for the server IP will.
 * Something changed recently, but I don’t know what. What format should be used?
 * `<li><a href="//Nameofserver/Climate/ClimateNormalsCollective_EOLWY.pdf"><font
   color="red">*NEW*</font> Climate Normals Collective for EOLWY</a></li>`
 * or maybe something like:
 * `<li><a href="/Climate/ClimateNormalsCollective_EOLWY.pdf"><font color="red">*
   NEW*</font> Climate Normals Collective for EOLWY</a></li>`
 * Sorry for all the newbie questions.

 * I have been searching and reading much more on this topic and decided to experiment
   a bit.
 * I changed the perms on my .htaccess file from 600 apache.apache to 666. Then 
   I reset my permalinks to “default” and saved.
 * Now when I click on my submenu page it displays properly. I am not sure what 
   happened here, but I am going to leave the config alone and try to create more
   pages.
 * Thanks for the kind help.

 * Would screenshots help?

 * Thanks for the reply. I am running my own webserver.
 * I checked my httpd.conf file and
    ‘LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.
   so’ is uncommented.
 * I also checked my .htaccess file and it has the following which I think is correct:
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule
   ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * Maybe I don’t understand completely how to add and then utilize a page in WP.
   I thought you would do the following:
 * 1) create the new page and give it a name,
    2) enter any html you want in the
   GUI editor and save/publish.
 * Now suppose you wanted the new page to be a submenu choice in your main navi 
   menu. Like I mentioned before I was successful in getting a page to save, and
   in making it a submenu choice in my TwentyTen them. Still when I click on it 
   I get a 404 error. The error returned is: “The requested URL /test/ was not found
   on this server.” Test is my new page name.
 * I must be doing something wrong. How should I “link” a new page? Is this the 
   correct path the system should be looking for to find my file?
 * Sorry for all the questions. This is a fundamental problem I must solve quickly.
   🙂
