Hi,

I Run a wordpress site with mod_rewrite and it's installed on the root folder

in subfolder i have a forum application and it has it's own htaccess for mod_rewrite

It works but randomly gives 404 on the forum

This is what the server have

Litespeed Enterprise 3.11, PHP 5.2.2, LSPHP 4.0

Htaccess is

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ ./index.php?mdrw=on
RewriteRule ^manual\.html$ ./index.php?action=manual&mdrw=on
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)_([0-9]+)_([-0-9]+)\.html$ ./index.php?action=vthread&forum=$1&topic=$2&page=$3&mdrw=on
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)_([-0-9]+)\.html$ ./index.php?action=vtopic&forum=$1&page=$2&mdrw=on


Any help?

Thanks in advanced

Are there rewrite rules in .htaccess of the root folder?

Random error is hard to debug, and we need at least some debug log for request results in 404, with rewrite log enabled, in order to look it further. It might have something to do with htaccess cache updating.
Is that possible to generate some debug log for analysis?

One possible fix is to create a static context for the forum, and move the rewrite rule from .htaccess to the context level configuration, without changing the rewrite rules. But, if the random 404 is cause by a bug in htaccess handle, the bug will remain there.

Click to expand...
There is a space in between "...&page=$3 &mdrw=on".

If you are using LiteSpeed + hosting control panel, you maybe not able to add static context, as the site is configured through Apache httpd.conf. It will need your assist if it is caused by a bug.

How often does it happen?

every 20-30 clicks on different url of the mod_rewrite

i'm ready to assist :)

the forum is located here

http://www.myitablet.com/talk/

to reproduce just surf around the forum (browsing forum categories and forum topics back and forth) after 20-30 clicks it will give 404 error

First, you need to set "RewriteLogLevel 9" to turn on rewrite log for that vhost.
Next, clicking "Enable debug logging" from LSWS control panel, to turn on debug logging, click again will turn it off.
Go to your site and click around, until you produce a few 404 pages, turn dbug logging off. then send lsws/logs/error.log to bug ((a)) litespeedtech ((.)) com.

A similar problem here, a ton of 404s on wordpress. I am trying out the enterprise version. How can I best update to 3.1.2, which is linked about but not listed in the downloads? I am currently using 3.1.1

Thanks
