Geting 404 errors for all posts and categories

Recently I had to move one of my blogs to another hosting account. I moved all files and then did upload a mysql backup. Blog was working but if you click on a post or category you get a 404 error.

I haven't changed anything.
Permalink Settings is /%post_id%/%category%/%postname%.php

whats the reason for this ?

Ensure that the .htaccess file is present in the root folder. I think the problem could be due to the mod-rewrite /.htaccess issues.

I think you will need the following code in the .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

 

Ah I forgot to mention but I do have that code in my .htaccess file.




.

 

Then you will need to add it thta is the problem.

 

What do you mean ? I said I do have that file. Means its in .htaccess file. >.<

 

Hiya

Can you please show us what the .htaccess file contains ?

Have you recently added any plugins (after moving your site from the old host) ?

Also what are the ownership permissions for the .htacess file ?

Kind Regards,

Here's what .htaccess has,


# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress


No I haven't add any plugins or anything. I have just moved to another host.

Another thing, When I change Permalink Settings back to default it everything work. This happen with custom permalink.

/%post_id%/%category%/%postname%.html

 

Does your server have mod_rewrite disabled by chance.

 

Yeah That's the problem since its a new VPS. That make it worse since I'm new to VPS handling.

I don't know if this can be done in Hyper VM or Kloxo ..

 

have you try permalink moved permanently 's plugin?

 

Nop. But thanks finally I got it fixed. Problem was at VPS, mod_rewrite was not enable.


Ben Thomas from btcentral.org.uk helped me to get it fix. I have to thank him for saving me from this nightmare.
