How to fix Dreamhost stats with Wordpress [404 file not found error]

[admin]

If you host a Wordpress blog with Dreamhost you may have noticed you can't access the statistics page at http://www.yourblogurl.com/stats and get a 404 file not found error. To fix this you need to add this code to the top of the .htaccess file in the root directory of your domain...

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(stats|failed_auth\.html).*$ [NC]
RewriteRule . - [L]
</IfModule>

Add that to the top of your .htaccess file and you should be able to access your dreamhost statistics page.
