I've dug though the forums, and every response I see at least a year old.
domain.com/blog/blogname/ -- this works fine, I can browse any page.
but when I try to post a comment, it wants to take me to --
domain.com/blog/blogname/wp-comments-post.php
and I get an internal server error.
I obviously just have a bad mod_rewrite issue...
here's what I have that is obviously wrong.
RewriteRule ^wp-comments-post.php(.*) /blog/wp-comments-post.php [L]
any thoughts?help?
thanks.
Why is that line even in your htaccess? In a default installation, it should not be there at all.
Do you have an upgraded site? Compare your htacces with this
http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/htaccess.dist
The only line that shoudl be different is
RewriteBase BASE/
will be
RewriteBase /
in .htaccess.
I was following the comments found in older posts.
I'll try that htaccess.dist file as my .htaccess.
Ok, I put in that .htaccess file
I had to replace the first "RewriteBase BASE/" with
"RewriteBase /blog/"
because everything broke
other wise, its exactly as you shared with me.
Now, when I post a comment, I just get a white screen on ../wp-comments-post.php
thoughts?
Ah, the htaccess changed in more recent versions, as you found out.
Next issue:
what theme are you using?
Are any plugins turned on?
Have you checked your error logs on the server?
When you seen a blank white screen, it is know as the White Screen of Death, or WSOD. Errors are suppressed in mu, or you'd see a line saying exactly what was wrong.
It happens in any of my themes, I have just a few plugins.
LDAP-Auth, about me, and lightbox.
I'm looking at my error logs now... will repost when I know more.
Turn off all the plugins and try it.
I've turned off all plugins, and I'm still getting the white screen of death.
thoughts? :)
I'll try making a blog with the default theme, and see where that gets me.
Anyone else got any ideas on this one?
Some additonal info, its under a subdomain
its behind SSL.
think that might be causing problems?
solved.
my <VirtualHost...> had a *:80 in it
so I changed.
<VirtualHost *:80>....
to
<VirtualHost sub.domain.tld:80>
and it works now.
Seriously, I hope this helps.
Here's some keywords
white
white screen of death
wp-comments-post.php
virtualhost
dns
WSOD
