404 page not found

    I have installed wordpress mu and buddypress and I keep getting 404 page not found when I try to follow the links.
    I had the signup working under a normal wordpress theme /wp-signup but now with the new buddypress theme its at /register and an error popped up. I have read up on this and everyone seems to think it has something to do with the .htaccess file. I have contacted my web host and they told me to put in rewrite.script instead of the mod_rewrite. The code I have in the rewrite.script is:

    RULE_0_START:
    match URL into $ with ^/index.php$
    if not matched then goto RULE_0_END
    # Source line 3
    # Second half of: RewriteRule ^/index.php$ – [L]
    # This rule has [L]
    goto END
    RULE_0_END:

    # uploaded files
    RULE_1_START:
    match URL into $ with ^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+)
    if not matched then goto RULE_1_END
    # Source line 6
    # Second half of: RewriteRule ^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
    set URL = wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2
    # This rule has [L]
    goto END
    RULE_1_END:

    # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RULE_2_START:
    match URL into $ with ^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$
    if not matched then goto RULE_2_END
    # Source line 9
    # Second half of: RewriteRule ^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
    set URL = $1wp-admin/
    # This rule has [R]
    set RESPONSE = 301
    set OUT:Location = %{URL}
    set BODY = Please try here insteadn
    # Implicit [L] when converting
    goto END
    RULE_2_END:

    RULE_3_START:
    match URL into $ with ^/
    if not matched then goto RULE_3_END
    # Source line 11
    # RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    set SCRATCH:COND = %{REQUEST_FILENAME}
    match SCRATCH:COND into % with -f
    if matched then goto RULE_3_CODE_START
    # Source line 12
    # RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    set SCRATCH:COND = %{REQUEST_FILENAME}
    match SCRATCH:COND into % with -d
    if not matched then goto RULE_3_END
    RULE_3_CODE_START:
    # Source line 13
    # Second half of: RewriteRule ^/ – [L]
    # This rule has [L]
    goto END
    RULE_3_END:

    RULE_4_START:
    match URL into $ with ^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*)
    if not matched then goto RULE_4_END
    # Source line 14
    # Second half of: RewriteRule ^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
    set URL = $2
    # This rule has [L]
    goto END
    RULE_4_END:

    RULE_5_START:
    match URL into $ with ^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$
    if not matched then goto RULE_5_END
    # Source line 15
    # Second half of: RewriteRule ^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]
    set URL = $2
    # This rule has [L]
    goto END
    RULE_5_END:

    RULE_6_START:
    match URL into $ with .
    if not matched then goto RULE_6_END
    # Source line 16
    # Second half of: RewriteRule . index.php [L]
    set URL = index.php
    # This rule has [L]
    goto END
    RULE_6_END:

    Is there something wrong with this or is there another possible reason my links arent working?

    @irishartisans – I’ve never known anyone use rewrite.script. Mod_rewrite.c is the norm for WP / BP

    I suggest going back to the original .htaccess file, then de-activate BuddyPress, and then run the following tests:

    Do custom permalinks work (e.g. change them to /%category%/%postname%/ in your wp-admin), can you comment, can you register new sites, and so on.

    Does all this work without problem? If not, check you have correct permissions set on your .htaccess file

    I am using a web host so I do not have access to my .htaccess file is there another way of checking this?

    @rogercoathup

    @irishartisans – where did you remove the mod_rewrite.c directives / add the rewrite.script directives? Wasn’t that in your .htaccess file?

    Most web hosting will allow you access to your .htaccess file. Which hosting company are you using?

    Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about rewrite.script so can’t help further on that.

    Do the steps I suggested though, and check whether your basic WP installation is working properly first.

    Ok I will try that
    Thank you for your help!

    Still no joy, has anyone experienced this problem where they don’t have access to the .htaccess file. I have been told to convert the apache mod_rewrite to zeus and put the code in a file called rewrite.script but it doesn’t seem to want to work

    @irishartisans – did you get the custom permalinks working on your basic WordPress install with BuddyPress de-activated?

    You’ll need that before you attempt to use BuddyPress.

    Does this article help: http://www.benhuson.co.uk/2010/03/01/wordpress-permalinks-zeus-server/
