Package: wordpress
Version: 2.0.2-1
Severity: minor
disclaimer: I'm running wordpress on a rather unclean systen, i.e.
Debian sarge while wordpress is a backport from testing. This might be a
cause for the trouble. Severity is "minor" for that reason.
When browsing the blog I found that certain pages cause a 404, e.g. the
"Archives" and "Categories" links. This was caused by the fact that
wordpress relies on Apaches's mod-rewrite module which was not enabled
on my system.
Please consider an appropriate postinst script that checks for
mod-rewrite and enables it if missing. For apache2 that's probably
"a2enmod rewrite". A counterpart prerm would ask whether this module is
still needed and perhaps disable it again.

Hi,
I'm closing this bug because there is actually too many different
ways that a webserver can be configured. For example, you may use
apache and mod_rewrite. Or, you might use some other module in apache.
Or, you might use ngix. Or, you might do something completely different.
