They also deleted the offending folder for me, as I asked them to. The file suPHP will prevent this problem from occurring in the future.</p> <p>I'd plug my hosting provider here, but I'm sure that's not kosher ;) I love them though! I've used many (at least a dozen) different hosts over the years - GoDaddy being only the second-worst :P - and after hosting with these guys for a couple of years, I'm well satisfied! I've never had support that immediately understands the problem and provides a fix so politely, quickly and hassle free. I've leaned on them alot and my own skills and understanding have improved greatly thanks to their generous and intelligent support. I'm rambling, sorry... :x </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/18430#post-101578 Sat, 26 Jun 2010 01:08:23 +0000 snelson2678 101578@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>Problem Solved!</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/18430#post-101577 Sat, 26 Jun 2010 00:00:44 +0000 andrea_r 101577@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>Because that's the wrong link.</p> <p><a href="http://socialmediaschools.com/wp-admin/" rel="nofollow">http://socialmediaschools.com/wp-admin/</a></p> <p>"I have learned that MU is different than regular WP which is what I'm running.
