http://serverfault.com – I'm working on a WordPress site that's served by two lighttpd backends behind an F5 load balancer. Previously, the site was served by a single lighttpd server behind a nginx reverse proxy, and everything worked fine. Now, sometimes when sending POST info from the WordPress admin (for instance, when editing general options or editing navigation menus) the site won't reply anything at all. I know that it's receiving the request, because it actually updates the info, but the browser never gets a response. I'm not seeing anything unusual on the WordPress debug log or the lighttpd logs, so my gu (HowTos)

Stories similar to Server won't reply to POST request

I am deploying an application and a Wordpress installation on AWS. I have Wordpress set up under Apache on an EC2, and my application under Lighttpd, and I want to reverse-proxy Wordpress through the application node.

We have a dedicated development server which runs only test PHP applications on a public network. We have setup session-based authentication for the site.

The issue we have is there are lots of 404s logged in access log for robots.txt. So, We want to block/ignore these requests on the lighttpd to save some bandwidth.

How can we achieve this in lighttpd/1.4.31 ?

I am a complete noob when it comes to Nginx, but I'm trying to make the switch over for my WordPress site. Everything works, even the permalink, but I can't access my WordPress admin directory (I get a 403 error).

I have my WordPress install in a subfolder, so that complicates things a bit for me.

Using the sample recipe I am deploying a wordpress solution on EC2:

juju bootstrap --constraints "instance-type=t1.micro" juju set-constraints instance-type=t1.micro juju debug-log juju deploy mysql wordpress-db juju deploy wordpress juju add-relation wordpress wordpress-db juju expose wordpress

After this I point my browser to the public url and get the error:

502 Bad Gateway nginx/1.1.19

Which user is the website host? 36 weeks 15 hours ago

I'm learning about servers, and I'm configuring Nginx, MySQL, PHP, and WordPress. the server distro is Debian 6.

I created a new user and I want each user to be the owner of the site folder /var/www/site.one, so I run the command chown -R kossel:kossel site.one

My problem is, my WordPress only works if I chmod 644 wp-config.php, which all can read wordpress site suggest that file should be 640.

I've got a LAMP server available from http://91.xxx.xx.xx/ (just an example IP address), and I'd like to install Wordpress there.

I've gone as far as doing a simple sudo apt-get install wordpress to install Wordpress, but I'm not too sure about the set of best-practice steps after that.

I've read the documentation to install Wordpress in the Ubuntu wiki, but it is out-of-date.

A WordPress site was littered with eval(base64_decode(...)) code in lots of files.

Hello,

I've been trying to wget wordpress.

It starts downloading, and after 5 - 10 seconds it stops.

I either get a timeout or a retry.

Does anyone know what might cause this?
