    Is anyone using the Postie plugin successfully with the Hive? I'm unable to call several .php files via the URL.

    For example, when I create a separate WP installation, I get a correct response
    http://allowanceforkids.com/test/wp-content/plugins/postie/get_mail.php

    However, with any of the installations in my Hive, I get a 404 message:
    http://test.standrewsjhs.com/wp-content/plugins/postie/get_mail.php

    I am, however, able to access non-php files, such as images:
    http://test.standrewsjhs.com/wp-content/plugins/postie/images/mail.png

    Any suggestions? I've checked the two .htaccess files and they're virtually identical (except for the blog directory name). I've also set the postie folder permissions wide open to 777.

    I'm stumped.

    Very strange. I've installed postie in my test site and have no problems accessing it from a subdomain site.

    That being said, there will likely be an issue with loading files that are accessed directly (eg: get_mail.php) on subdirectory sites. It has to do with the cookie that needs to be set first to indicate which subdirectoy site is being accessed. In your case, I don't think this should be an issue.

    Can you access domain.com/index.php properly from a web browser?

    When I enter the address http://standrewsjhs.com/index.php, the browser resolves to http://standrewsjhs.com.

    Is that what you mean?

    Yes, that's what I mean. I guess I could have checked it myself. :)

    It looks like it's just the php files in that directory that are being rejected.

    Some ideas of where to check:
    - Apache Permissions (can execute?)
    - File System Permissions
    - .htaccess (in any upstream directory, not just root)
    - Apache VHOST configuration / directory permissions

    Whew! I thought you might be interested - problem is solved. I changed the Postie directory and file permissions from 777 to 755 and voila!

    Go figure - I would have thought 777 would be totally open but I guess something didn't like it. Probably something in Postie?
