Did you check the ownership of the directories on the server? This happened
to me in the past when it didn't recognize the site as the owner of the
files. If you're not familiar with this just contact host and ask them to
check.

Hey all,
I'm at the end of my search, and I've exhausted everything I can to
find the answer to this.
About 2 weeks ago, I was working on a WordPress site. Everything was
going fine, and then the Friday of Labor Day weekend, suddenly we were
unable to edit posts, nor create new ones. This also went for
categories, links and Pages as well. We could do nothing. The stuff
that's there is there, and there's no adding to it, nor editing it.
(We get an error in the newer installs that says "An unidentified
error has occurred." in the sidebar of the admin panel.)
I've tried many things to fix this - of course the first being that I
reverted back to the way it was before I started working on it - to no
avail. Disabled all plugins, reverted to the default theme - same
problem. Deleted the installation, and reinstalled fresh files.
Nothing. Upgraded to 2.6.1 - no change. I kept checking error logs,
and they were clean as a whistle. I finally came across one that
showed more "in depth" error messages on the server, and finally got a
single error message.
[30-Aug-2008 09:30:25] PHP Warning: Module 'ffmpeg' already loaded in
Unknown on line 0
[30-Aug-2008 09:30:25] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load
dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-
zts-20060613//usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/
ffmpeg.so' - /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613//
usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown
on line 0
I sent this info to the host, but since it was labor day weekend, I
didn't expect a response. So I went in search of other similar issues.
I've repaired database tables to no avail, and finally, as my last
step today, a created an entirely new database with a new user, and
made a completely new installation. Same problem. I created a second
new database and user, and installed 2.5...then again with 2.3.3, and
a third time with 2.0.10. ALL of them have the same problem. No
posting, no creating anything, no editing.
For the record, I'm not talking theme files or file permission issues
either. And if it helps, the server is Linux, running MySQL 4.1.22,
Apache 2.0.63 and PHP 5.2.6. A funny note though - everything is
unlimited - bandwidth, email accounts, domain names, FTP accounts, and
databases, etc., are all set to "infinity" as the max. That's
something odd I've never noticed before, but I don't know if that
would have anything to do with this.
I've posted to the WP forum with no response, as well as a couple of
other lists I'm on that have some WP gurus. When I posted to those
two lists, I got three responses that they were experiencing the same
issue - but no one can find a solution.
The host got back to me today - they've moved the ffmpeg (although,
like me, they don't understand what that would have to do with
wordpress at all), they removed it as well (and of course now we get
an error that ffmpeg can't be found), trying all kinds of things
trying to figure out what's going on, and restarted Apache for me.
Still nothing. No postie-love, not edity-love, no creating anything-
love. New installations don't do squat - 'cept now I have a new
installation of WordPress that I cannot use.
So now I'm turning to you all - I have no idea what to do here. I've
been working on this site with no problem for the last 5 months (it's
a pro-bono site, for any of you that think I'm getting paid for this -
I'm not), and then suddenly poof - it appears he may have to go as far
as to try to get a new host and have all of this work go down the
drain. Which seems so bizarre, because WordPress is the *only*
application on the server that's having this problem. i don't know if
this is a WP bug, or something with the server, or what - but no one
seems to know what to do.
if *anyone* has *any* ideas, or links, or anything that could point me
towards a solution, I'd really appreciate it. Even the host tech guys
are stumped, and I can say from experience that they aren't the kind
of guys who are easily stumped. So if anyone has any little inkling
of what I could look for, or where i could go to try and find the
solution, that would be great.
Thanks!
~Shelly

Understanding that I've read and reread your message here to make sure
that I understand everything you've done so far, it sounds like the one
of the main directories that WordPress is installed into may have become
write protected. Why this would happen could be many reasons/quirks or
whatever but since it doesn't seem to be related to the install or the
DB I would check the permission settings (CHMOD) of your customer's
server directories via FTP starting with "public_html" (should be set to
755) and on down. If WordPress is installed in it's own directory, that
one should be the next one you check under "public_html" and then onto
the 3 main directories of the WP install itself. For some reason, these
might be getting changed.
Hope this helps.

Hi Kirk,
Well, this is one of the things I've previously checked - and I've
just rechecked. Folders are at 755, files at 644. So again, that
doesn't seem to be the issue. but thanks!

How about the actual database files? Do all the files have appropriate
ownership and write privileges to allow MySQL to modify those tables?

I admit it was a "just to say I did" check but you never know. This is
definitely an unusual problem. I'll start checking around. Hopefully one
of the experts here can add their two cents worth.
