Wordpress driving me nuts

[Mike Seddon]

OK. I've installed Wordpress as per the advice here and yes its a darn fine tool.

However I have one big problem.

Whenever you try to leave a comment, I get a 404 page not found error.

This only happens if I try to use permalinks other than the default option (ie: one where pages a sometihng like ?p=3)

Anyone please got any advice!

Mike, I'd be happy to help sort you out. I had the same problem with Pete's blog but all was sorted pretty quickly.

Add me to msn inzvestor at gmail.com so that I can sort this out pronto - should only be a 5-10 minute job.

Thanks for the help. However I don't use MSN - Sorry.

I'll sign up for an account in the morning and then contact you. Thanks

[Mike Seddon]

Added you now. Will look out for you when you are online.

Cool, will check and chat soon

Finally got there. Thanks for your help Glenn.

The final solution was some 404 redirects that needed to be set up.

It just seems that Windows IIS and Wordpress have a few issues but the tech guy managed to sort it.

So blog is up and here!

Lucky you guys. I'm still struggling to replace my permalinks with words (nothing but the default page IDs seems to work).

I'm realising Wordpress is a great piece of software but I hate the Codex as a place to try to find answers to questions. It seems like unless you're a 25yr old techie, forget it.

Glenn, if you know the secret to this one, I beg of you... on bended knees please tell... :-)
