Weired Error in Wordpress 2.5.1 just after upgrading.

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /wp-admin/widgets.php could not be found on this server.

Why weired?

I am using a two column theme in one of my site : http://calcuttatube.com.

I can add remove wigets from sidebar 1 or sidebar 2.

After upgrading to wordpress 2.5.1, I have no problem editing sidebar 1 (left) while I can not do anything  with sidebar 2! I don’t know what is the issue. I don’t know if it has something to do with the theme.

I have tried deleting the old “widgets.php” file from server and then re-uploaded that one again. Still, it did not solve the problem!

Dennis at Semilogic.com wrote that this might be due to server issue that may arise due to:

  1. mod_security
  2. safe_mode

Dennis mentioned that the safe_mode should be “OFF”. Well my safe mode is “OFF” and I am having the issue for ONE site only.

He also suggested to try to delete/rename .htaccess_sample file under wp-admin folder. Well I don’t see any such there too.

So, I am still having the issue with one site only. I have not changed the theme yet as I have too many additional work in the theme and it is painful to change a theme and redecorate the new theme again.

If you have an answer to this issue, please let us know.

Thank You.
