Correcting Parallels H-Sphere Error 404: File Not Found Web Hosting Problem
An offline chat window message informed that blog site pastelcorner.com on shared web hosting have some error. I checked the website and everything works fine without problem. Thus, I though the problem was already resolved. Little did I know that the error only shows up when the post title is clicked.
Parallels H-Sphere Error 404: File Not Found
The page then shows the following – Parallels H-Sphere Error 404: File Not Found. By the way, Parallels H-Sphere is a hosting control panel which various web hosting service offers. Trouble shooting the error is a challenge as the website is hosted on a shared cheap web hosting.
Parallels H-Sphere .htaccess files missing
I suspected that the error is caused by Apache’s handling of the permalinks. We can see that .htaccess file is very important for WordPress Platform based blogs as this stores the information for translating permalinks. So, I started a thorough check on various .htaccess files. I have noted that the .htaccess file was renamed to .htaccess.old. Thus, Parallels H-Sphere Error 404: File Not Found is shown because WordPress could not find .htaccess file.
To correct the Parallels H-Sphere Error 404: File Not Found, I created a new .htaccess file on the blog root folder.
The .htaccess file content are as follows:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
After the changes, clicking the blog post title resolves to show the correct content.
