New User Registration Not Working (5 posts)

    I have enabled registration but I am getting some kind of loop when clicking the link to /wp-signup.php I get an error with Firefox: "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete." I checked the .htaccess file to see if there was anything in there that could be causing it but nothing turns up. I also have a bbpress integration and when a user registers for a new account there, it works no problem.

    I had originally installed my wordpressmu under /wordpress-mu/ but then moved it to the root later. My config file says:

    /** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
    define('DB_COLLATE', '');
    define('VHOST', 'yes');
    $base = '/wordpress-mu/';
    define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'cjmoloneys.com' );
    define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
    define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
    define('BLOGID_CURRENT_SITE', '1' );

    Is wrong with editing by hand and chaning the $base = '/wordpress-mu/'; ?? Everything on my site works fine except registrations. I don't even know if this is the cause.

    Yeah, you'll have to edit the file and change that to "/"

    I changed it to "/" but still the signup doesn't direct to anywhere at all. Anyone have thoughts as to what could be causing this error?

    I went into the database and updated the wp_site table with the correct URL. Now when I click on "Create Account" it no longer gives the error. It directs to a page with this URL:
    http://cjmoloneys.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://cjmoloneys.com/register

    however... you cannot register there. You can only login. I do have registrations enabled for users but not blogs. Any idea what could be causing this?

    Do I need to re-install?? I'm not sure how I would go about re-installing because I have my bbpress installation already integrated as well as buddypress operating with a couple users. Anyone know how to retain this data and reinstall?
