OK, what is odd about this is that the link is relative.  Simply “index.php” as opposed to “http://site.com/index.php” so there is no way this should be 404ing on you.

Could you try clearing your cache and then trying from a different browser (maybe firefox).  I just want to eliminate something specific to your browser causing bugs here.  If that doesn’t work, I think our next bet will be for me to login.  If you’re comfortable with it, and the new browser doesn’t work, could you PM me your cp url, a user/pass and the url of this thread?

Thanks.

Hello Derek

Thanks for your reply. I cleared my cache, and tried a few different browsers, but still did not work

Unfortunately, our development box is behind a firewal, and its internal to the company.
One thing i did notice is everytime i click on the Categories link , it goes to

http://dev.execunet.com/sbm/exec_system/index.php first , then something in the code redirects it to the root of my website from there.

So first it goes here
http://dev2.execunet.com/sbm/exec_system/?S=628a0f7f1c7c4323c947cc2664dce3a18cbfaa3&C=admin&M=blog_admin&P=cat

and then it does a quick redirect to where the 404 happens because EI is installed in a sub directory called sbm.

I can set up a quick session with a tool that we use for demos called glance. With this i can browse the admin and you can see what i am talking about

Let me now if you want me to set this up.

David, are you using any server-side redirects?  Normally this would be in .htaccess, but it may be elsewhere depending on your server; even a javascript or meta redirect in one of the EE files, perhaps?

This is a new server that we built just for EE. There are no nancy server redirects, or .htaccess files.
We have not modified EE or added anything to the code.

Something is redirecting it, as you mentioned, and it will 404 without index.php in the URL.  Out of curiosity, does it help if you set it to Cookies only for Control Panel sessions? In Admin -> Security and Session Preferences?

We just found what the problem was. By default, the memory allocation to php was set to 8MB, and in the log, there was an error which says that it was being excedded by 256 bytes. So as soon as we increased the memory allocation to php now set to 16mb, that fixed the problem.

Sorry for help, and maybe this might help someone else with the same problem

We see symptoms of that occasionally; this is the first time I can remember that a seeming redirect was the symptom. Thank you for posting the solution, David!

Indeed!  Wow, I’m glad you tracked that down, because I’m looking at my game plan for how I was going to proceed trouble shooting this one, and I’m not sure I would ever have arrived there 😉
