Link Manager Plugin - directory page not showing up (4 posts)

    I'm using the latest Mu, and have installed the Link Manager Plugin(1.42), provided by ebrandmarketing. The install goes smooth, and I can configure in the admin panel.

    The problem is that the directory page doesn't show up.. or rather, it is redirecting to a signup page.

    Is this a mu issue , a theme issue, or is there a user error somewhere?

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Page that isn't working:
    http://www.tazatek.com/wp/directory

    Thanks

    More Info:

    I think that this is just a generic .htaccess issue... someone chime in and correct me if I'm wrong!

    I don't know much about .htaccess and the mod_rewrite module, so please be kind to my ignorance. I can access certain files directly in the Directory/* file structure (like http://tazatek.com/wp/directory/style.css) but when I access http://tazatek.com/wp/directory/index.php , I am redirected to the sigup page.... what I find odd about the .htaccess that is included in the Link Exchange Manager, is that there is a rewrite if it begins in categories or subcatagories but not a reference to directory.... does anyone have any insite into this?

    .HTACCESS file below
    ----
    The directory named Directory, contains this .htaccess:
    --
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^categories/(.*)/(.*)$ index.php?cat=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]
    RewriteRule ^subcategories/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ index.php?cat=$1&scat=$2&page=$3 [QSA,L]
    ---

    and the base .htaccess contains this (pretty generic):
    --
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /wp/

    #uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule . - [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]
    ---

    Thanks

    It is probably (I am 99% sure) an issue with the plugin itself. plugins are 3rd party remember and if they work on WP just fine, it does not mean it'll work on MU.

    It's redirecting to signup as that's what MU does if it can't find something.

    it's likely the plugin is having issues trying to figure out which blog on the system it belongs to. Talk to the plugin author.

    figures :)

    I had my suspicions about that too.

    Are there any key functions or methodologies that you could suggest on determining which blog is being referenced? Are there any great plugins that would have this functionality that I could use as a reference?

    Thanks
