I've just finished upgrading to 4.0.31 from 4.0.30. When I click on a category link, for instance (I'm using SEO option):
http://www.webdesigngold.com/css-cascading-style-sheets
I get this:

Not found


The requested URL /wsnlinks410/index.php was not found on this server.


Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I don't get what this directory (wsnlinks410) is !?

Any idea? All recent upgrades went smoothly except this last one (4.0.31). And I think I've followed the steps mentionned in the readme.html to the point.

Thanks for your help.

Fixed!

Here's how:
I did some testing and was able to access categories by swithching off "Use apache mod_rewrite URL rewriting" (admin/settings/SEO). But, when I switched back to "yes" I noticed an error message on the top of the page saying something like: "Couldn't write to .htaccess. Chmod to 666". I did and now I can access the site's categories.
But I wonder why this wasn't the case in earlier upgrades. I don't remember I had to chmod .htaccess to 666 then. And why did it work to switch off mod_rewrite although .htaccess was chmoded to 644?

It looks like there's a .htaccess file in the package, when it should be htaccess.txt, and only in the ZIP, not the BZ2, despite them being generated by the same script. Fixing.
