404 Not Found error when deleting an entry
Development and Programming
10 years ago
I’ve built several sites with EE but I’ve never had this error. In my last project, if I try to delete an entry (no matter from which channel) I receive a Not Found Page.
Not Found
The requested URL /system/index.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.It happens only when I try to delete, not when I publish or edit an entry.
I notice, however, that the entry is eventually deleted, but I can’t give the client a site with this error and tell him to pretend nothing happened.
What should I do?

Can you rule out any system-side rewriting issues (in .htaccess, e.g.)? Seems a likely culprit.

I have this .htaccess for removing index.php:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/system/.* [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]
# Directs all EE web requests through the site index file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
