I can't get to config.php

[v3ggi32u]

For somereason, when I try to click on the config link as admin, I get a 404 page not found. I then copied the page to config2.php and entered that in the url directly. Still no good. Then I copied again to make stupid.php. When I type this in the url, I get to my copy of the config page, and everything works. I have tried deleting the file and moving one of my copies back. No go. The permissions are also the same on the unix server.

-rw-r--r-- and size 13300

All three of them.  config.php, config2.php and stupid.php. I am on 1&1 in the US. Any chance there is some weird url rewrite going on from them? Any other ideas?

some users have reported this issue before as well: seems like your webhost has configured his server so people can't run pages in their browsers that contain the name "config". Rename it to "settings.php" (or whatever you like it to be) and change the link pointing towards it: edit /themes/yourtheme/theme.php and search for

Code Select Expand

<a href="config.php" title="">{CONFIG_LNK}</a>

i was about to ask this question and saw someone else ask a similar question and it was suggested that they search, so before i asked i searched.... and found this.. and this solution worked for me!!!
