Very Weird:

Install Specs:
Drupal 6.14
Ubuntu 9.10 via Linode
96MB memory
Cache cleared
update.php run
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I randomly get "Page load Error" -> Address Not Found while clicking around my site.

About every second link I click on, I get the Address not Found error. Refreshing the page won't fix it, but when I hit enter in the address bar, it successfully reloads the page.

I can load all the pages, but every second time, it takes me two tries to get to my page. I've tried turning Clean Urls off, but that doesn't do the trick. Even when I try to go through update.php, I can't -- I get "Address not found"

Help appreciated.

Ultra weird. I get the page load error everytime I hit submit. BUT - it will actually add the new blog post. It just seems to die right after saving.

This is strange - I've searched high and low, but no one seems to have experienced this lately.

extra info -- mod rewrite is enabled. Clean urls are working. And I just copied an .htaccess file from a different working server and that didn't fix it either.

Wow. Troubling.

Even after disabling every module and going back to Garland, the problem persists.

Highly perplexing. the best of it is, I have a subsite (multisite setup) that works just fine from the same codebase, theme, and modules.

This is very strange.

Well well well. I've done it all and gotten no where. I've disabled every module and theme, cleared the cache, ran update.php, got a fresh .htaccess file, and even got a new copy of the 6.14 codebase. None of it worked.

I can't see what the issue might be. My other subsite works fine, but this one hiccups when you hit Submit. This site is essentially a bunch of nodes organized with the blog module.

I think its time to try and reinstall. If I uncover anything I'll report back here. Though it seems like no one else has had this problem

Thanks for looking.

Got it.

I had to comment out the base_url line in settings.php.
IE:

I changed: $base_url = 'http://example.org';
to: #$base_url = 'http://example.org';

And that fixed it. No idea what caused this issue, as I've installed Drupal hundreds of times before and have never encountered this issue. Anyway, that's fixed it. For now!
