Error with Activation Email (6 posts)

    I recently mapped a site on my WPMu install that will have its own dynamic subddomains. But every time someone receives an email from this site and then clicks on the activate their new blog link, they get a 500 Internal Server error. However, I can create new blogs that work as subdomians without a problem from the "Site Admin" backend. So the wildcard dns seems to be working? Is their an Apache setting or a httpd setting I am screwing up for the activation email?

    Where's the activation email sending them?

    Hey Andrea_r,

    Here is one of the activation emails:
    http://huxley.greenwoodlibrary.org/wp-activate.php?key=f6622292a71d5ec2

    It sends them to the wp-activate.php key which is in turn throwing an internal server error.

    Actually, I am now realizing that the few blogs I have on this install are all throwing server errors now, even when i create them in the backend. Not sure what changed, but I am guessing this is an issue with the virtual host configuration in the httpd, sound right to anyone else? Hmmm--it was working only two days ago, what might have changed? Back to the drawing board.

    If you're on Apache2 and you made the vhost edit directly in the httpd.conf file, it'll get overwritten on a restart, because A2 uses includes now for stuff like that. :)

    But yeah, that's where I'd start.

    Thanks a ton, Andrea, sent an email off to the admin to take a look.

    You rule!
