WordPress MU

Fresh install when trying to access admin login link. The page shows with no css styling and error is found in apache error_log below :

[Fri Jul 03 09:35:38 2009] [error] [client 161.117.117.47] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache_blog/htdocs/wordpress-mu/wp-admin/css/colors-fresh.css/, referer: http://161.117.126.76/wordpress-mu/wp-login.php

Someone has had simliar error but no resolution was posted that I could find. I have confirmed that rewrite is atleast running. Added lines to create rewrite debug log in httpd.conf. I can see that it is hitting the rewrite rules defined in .htaccess which is in the /htdocs/wordpress-mu directory :

Any ideas ?

For those that had a simliar problem it was due to an incorrect sitename in the wodpress mu table

mysql> select option_value from wp_2_options where option_name='siteurl';
+----------------------------------------------+
| option_value |
+----------------------------------------------+
| http://161.117.126.76/wordpress-mu/index.php |
+----------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

The fix is to set to remove the index.php.

mysql> update wp_2_options set option_value='http://161.117.126.76/wordpress-mu/' where option_name='siteurl';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0

mysql> commit;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

When I first tried to install wordpress mu there was issues with it connecting to the database. I didnt have GRANT privileges setup properly for the user. Not sure if this caused the above issue. Hope it helps someone.

Hope it helps someone.

It helped me. thanks!

Note: perhaps this case should be considered in the admin interface - i.e. updating the base url should be possible through an admin setting? or perhaps simply a check the DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE matches the option_value above.
