In reply to: A NEWBs Heads Up on the PermalinksI would rather have the permalinks also. I think I have more than one issue also.
My.htaccess file is identical to “apljdi’s” who posted their .htaccess file in a previous post.

In reply to: A NEWBs Heads Up on the PermalinksAw man
I have recursively set permissions for all wp directories and I have chowned the directories to my admin user name.Now I can only see changes when I visit my site using the IP address:
128.241.49.116If I use my url:
discgolfaddiction.com
I see the site I had Saturday.This is going to be harder to troubleshoot than I thought
Stay tuned

In reply to: A NEWBs Heads Up on the PermalinksHere is one thing I found when I shelled in:
-rw-r–r– 1 apache apache 205 Oct 5 02:11 .htaccess
This looks like its a permissions issue.
I will look into it further as I consult the WP Codex articles.You on a shared server?

In reply to: A NEWBs Heads Up on the PermalinksYpu are correct. WordPress is a 3rd party software installed onto a known environment. The end result is a redirect that will not let me access my control panel. On my shared accounts I don’t recall this being an issue. On my VPS account it seems to be an issue. There are several hardware and software differences on this account because on a vps you have to load all of your software (except apache) yourself. It could be an .htaccess or http.config issue.
The issue in this case was resolved by setting the permalinks to default settings to access http://www.mydomain.com/ControlPanel.

In reply to: permissionsShell access removes the gui. You are basically talking directly to the server. I am sure the FTP gui interface is correct most, if not all of the time, however I prefer the talking directly to the server to get my info. I have seen failures using FileZilla, some of these may have been local or caching issues, but to get directly to what I want to know I cut out the GUI middleman.
“he doesnt need shell access to test whether or not he can change permissions….”
Shell access in this case is recommended to disregard the gui output from the FTP client and just verify – using shell – that his perms are what his control panel says he set them to. Whenever there is a problem use shell instead of any gui interface. Using PuTTy I can FTP, edit text and config files, change perms, admin UNIX, create users, create subhosts, etc – all without any kind of gui and there are no caching issues and is just plain faster and more accurate.
Caching issues for me arise when I have multiple customer accounts open in my browser at once (I may have 10 to 20 windows open). If I get a call about an issue like the one mentioned, I will start with shell and work from there. If I want to see what my client sees I will use his/her gui interface. It us not uncommon for me to open a different browser or FTP client to VERIFY what my control panel shows me because of a caching issue I may have.
“a host that has disabled phpinfo is NOT going to give shell access to it’s users….”
I would tend to agree. This may be an account with one IP address and several subhosts configured on the “other side” as opposed to an acount with its own IP address.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: permissionsI do not disagree.
Shell access would verify permissions. An FTP client is not a good way to verify perms IMHO.
The login is also important. Depending on his type of plan, he may not be allowed to change perms unless he is root. The phpinfo issue he is having sounds like a shared plan issue – he may lack the privileges .
I assume this is a UNIX platform? Just curious.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: permissionsDo you have shell access to this account? If so show a line for the filename that shows us permissions, or ask your tech support if they might log in as root and do it for you. Do you log in with admin privileges?
Sometimes I change the FTP client. WS_FTP is a good client that worked when FileZilla did not.

In reply to: “Error establishing a database connection” after URL changeHow did you “change the url”? Did you migrate your site? What is the URL of your site? Is the RSS button a plug-in or did you put it there yourself?
