I created a fresh WordPress install (2.9.1) with the latest version of the Atahualpa theme (3.4.5). When I switch to the new theme I am getting a "Not Found" error displayed within the site frame (ie the header etc loads fine but the post is unable to load). Page displays properly when switching back to the default theme. No other widgets or themes are installed. I've successfully used an earlier version of Atahualpa/WordPress on another blog.

check your permalinks
what is the url?

I don't think permalinks are the issue, the site is using the default settings. The site isn't publicly available yet.

is it Atahualpa 3.4.5 or 3.4.5.1? there was a bug in 3.4.5 with 2.8 and earlier and thumbnails. I don't think this is your issue, but...

No, that was not my problem, but updating did not resolve it. It seems that the WordPress Themes site does not in fact have the very latest version.

I came across a related post which I somehow managed to miss before: http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=3406; suggesting that PHP needs to be upgraded to 5. This is not an option for me. Any suggestions?

Would you send me a PM with the URL?

Does you know if there is an htaccess installed at your host? On a clean install, even with 3.4.5 instead of 3.4.5.1 you won't see this, 3.4.5 had an issue with thumbnails. This looks like a permission issue.

Can you get to the error log on the site? or the console log, the may show something to tell you what is happening.

Also, since you haven't done any styling, hit the Grey 'Reset ALL theme options' button - I don't think it will do anything but...

No .htaccess. Nothing in the error log. Upgraded to 3.4.5.1 and reset all settings as suggested. Still broken. Unsure as to where the permission problem you suggested would lie. This version works on a blog I have on another webhost so maybe it's something to do with the PHP version?

try setting your permalinks back to the default (dashboard->settings->permalinks)
when you change the permalinks from the default, Wordpress has to have access to be able to add code to the .htaccess file so you can get the 'pretty links'

Please note as I previously mentioned, I was not using anything but the default settings! BTW I updated to the latest release 3.4.6 and the problem still exists.

What do you have set up at dashboard->settings->general for 'WordPress address (URL)' and 'Blog address (URL)'? (change the 'http://....'/ to 'http://mydomain.com'

have you got access to the error.log or access.log's on the server? Something must be showing up but without access to that info I'm at a loss.
Check the folder permission on the wordpress folder

As I mentioned yesterday no errors related to WordPress are reported in the error/access logs. The folder permissions should be OK. I am about to give up on this matter, this is forcing me to move to a different host with a newer version of PHP because I know it works there.

what version of php are you running?

The version of PHP is 4.3.2

without having access to the site so I could try putting in some debuging code and poking around, I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. It has to be something specific in your environment.

Well I am happy to try inserting some debugging code that you suggest, I'm just not familiar with troubleshooting PHP personally.

this is a case where I would be putting in debugging code and then taking a look, moving the code, take a look etc etc. To try to do something like that is beyond the amount of time I'm willing to give on teh forum.. this has something to do with the environment you are running in.

If you wold like me to dig into this further, I'd be happy to outside teh forum. Send me a PM and I'll quote you my rates.

OK no problem. It's not worth throwing money at the problem. I've identified another host that I can move to in which the theme appears to work. Thanks for your time!
