WordPress MU

   Hi there :) Im experiencing a very weird situation:

   1 - I installed Wordpress Mu (with subfolders because i cant access httpd.conf - godaddy.com deluxe). No problems. I did not install, activate or even upload any plugins, themes, or anything that could change my WP Mu. Its completelly clean, fresh and new.

   2 - After installing it my main website is composed by:
   2.1 Mainwebsite URL: mainwebsite.com
   2.2 MainBlog URL: mainwebsite.com/blog

   3 - Weird facts:
   3.1 - right after instalation can not access "mainwebsite.com/wp-admin" but i can only access the admin panel through "mainwebsite.com/blog/wp-admin" - is that "normal"? I dont know if it is but that is not much of a problem. The weird part is coming next....

   3.2 - i start getting wrong "Edit post", "Edit page" links but ONLY for my main blog (/blog). By this i mean.... When i go to "mainwebsite.com/blog/wp-admin/edit.php" i then have all the posts listed with the links "Edit | Quick Edit | Delete | View" normally displayed. The problem is that the "Edit" link is wrong as it links to "mainwebsite.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=1" instead of "mainwebsite.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=1". The "/blog" is missing in the link. The extremelly weird part is that ONLY the "Edit" link is wrong and only for the main blog called "blog". For other blogs i created after (example: "/articles") - ALL the links are 100% correct!

   Notice: This "wrong linking" also happens when trying to edit pages "pages".

   I went around the code a little big and "fixed it" temporarily. I changed in "wp-admin/includes/template.php" @ line 1443:

   I commented the line: $actions['edit'] = 'ID, true) . '" title="' . esc_attr(__('Edit this post')) . '">' . __('Edit') . '';

   And addes this one: $actions['edit'] = 'ID.'" title="' . esc_attr(__('Edit this post')) . '">' . __('Edit') . '';

   This changes only for "posts" more changes are recquired for "pages", and more.

   I think that the error comes somewhere in the "admin_url" function or the "site_url" function. As it counts the site as: "mainwebsite.com" when the main blog is really "mainwebsite.com/blog/" - which it should count. But here im just guessing. :)

   Any help, comments or suggestions apreciated.

   Long live WP Mu! :P

   You can't call a blog by the name "blog". The main site at maindomain.com uses /blog/ in its permalink structure, because there's a blog there already.

   You can, however, *fake* a blog landing page at /blog/ which is a different topic. But you'd still be accessing it from the main URL.

   hi there and first of all thanks for your answer :)

   However i did not create any blog. I did not create "/blog/" - "its there automatically after installation" :)

   My installation is completelly fresh and new.

   Any ideas why this happens? (By this i mean: wrong "Edit" links for the blog called "/blog/" and impossibility to access "mainwebsite.com/wp-admin" but only access the admin panel through "mainwebsite.com/blog/wp-admin")
