+[[!meta title="WordPress becomes inaccessible after changing settings"]]
+This is probably because WordPress tried to create an `.htaccess`
+file, and `.htaccess` files need
+[special treatment](http://scripts.mit.edu/faq/47/) to work with
+the scripts server. Follow
+[these instructions](http://scripts.mit.edu/faq/48/) to mark the
+`.htaccess` file as accessible to the Apache web server.
+
+We expect this problem to be corrected in a future update to our
+WordPress autoinstaller.
