    I've searched through the forum and tried some things including changing my wp-config.php file. I can't login to wp-admin.php it just redirects me to the same page again and again when I try to login.

    Any ideas on how I could fix this? Thanks!

    Depends on how you did the second domained blog. By that I'm taking it to mean the second blog has a mapped domain, right? And you can't log in to it?
    Which mapping plugin did you use?

    A link to your WPMU website would be helpful. Some contents of error log would be helpful as well :)

    http://www.themostlyhonesttruth.com
    and
    http://www.bleepgate.com

    Where do I find the error log?

    Do I need a mapping plugin for this to work? Any recommendations?

    As a note on this, if you're on 2.6+ and running multiple domains, comment out the following in your wp-config file:

    DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE
    PATH_CURRENT_SITE

    It can, in the right situation, cause conflicting issues.

    lunabyte,

    Neither of those are in my wp-config file.

    Just opened http://themostlyhonesttruth.com/wp-login.php w/o any problems.

    http://bleepgate.com/wp-login.php - opened this one as well w/o apparent problems.

    Or is the problem somewhere else?

    Venture, there is no issue loading them. It's trying to login. When I try to login to bleepgate.com as admin or as not admin it kicks me back to the login screen. I tried creating another user and that still didn't help.

    Can you give me a user's login and pass to try?
    Just tried dummy login/pass and had no redirect.

    I just saw dashboard at http://themostlyhonesttruth.com/wp-admin/ :)

    You have 2 posts, contained within 3 categories and 17 tags. You have 0 total comments, 0 approved, 0 spam and 0 awaiting moderation.

    Regarding http://bleepgate.com/wp-login.php - looks like user 'test' is not a user of this blog.

    Yeah, but test is a member of the blog. When I try to login as admin the same thing happens. Any ideas what would cause this? Do I need some sort of plugin to make this all work?

    FWIW, site admin can log in anywhere. (just tossing that out there)

    A user has to be specifically associated with a particular blog to be able to login to that blog.

    Thanks, andrea, that helps to prove it's not a setting with a particular user if admin can't login to that blog.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for all the helps so far!

    "Do I need a mapping plugin for this to work?"

    Um, so how did you get the secondary blog to use their own domain? Did you just edit the fields?

    because yeah, if that's all you did and didn't use one of the domain mapping plugins, that would certainly be why you can't login even as Site Admin.

    Yeah, I just edited the fields and pointed the DNS to the right locations. What plugin would you recommend?

    I'm trying to install the domain mapping plugin, but I can't figure out where the tab is to set the settings.

    Any ideas?

    Manage -> Domain mapping

    It works!

    Thanks so much for walking me through this.

    I just thought that having some kind of 'Thanks' button that adds some 'karma' here would be good ;)
