WordPress MU

It was working before to sign up new blogs and now it has just stopped. when you type in mydomain.com/wp-signup.php it takes a super long time and then it says:

the page isn't redirecting properly

Flock has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

And it happens in IE Explorer and Firefox. Now I can't have anyone sign up for a blog in the front end.

When I tried to create one in the back end. It created one but when I type in http://subdomain.domain.com it has this message:

Table 'name6_blog.wp_9_ak_popularity_options' doesn't exist on line: 124

So I have two problems, Can anyone help? I've searched the forum and only found this problem when using IE but It doesn't load at all.

I really need to fix this. Any Help Is Greatly Appreciated.
I've been trying for 3 hours and I still can't figure it out.

Check what you have in htaccess file.
Check errors log.
Post here what you see :)

Table 'name6_blog.wp_9_ak_popularity_options' doesn't exist on line: 124

Whatever plugin is looking for that table hasn't had it's tables created yet. Chances are you're either going to have to code it to create the tables during setup or move the plugin file(s) from mu-plugins where it looks like you have it over to the regular plugin directory and let folks activate it themselves.

venturemaker:
I can only find an htaccess.dist file and I can't even open that.

tdjcbe:
that plugin, popularity contest by alex king is in the plugins folder not the mu-plugins folder.

Well somehow it's getting activated during setup and that's why you;re getting the error.

You need to figure out why it;s coming on before it should.

any suggestions on how to figure why its coming on before it should?

Why dont I have an htaccess file?

Whatever client you're using is hiding it from you. Use an FTP program.

i am using cpanel. i will check with an ftp program,thanks Klarko.

i found it with the ftp but I cannot open it or save it so that I can see what's in it. How do i do that?

Use FileZilla FTP client. Works perfectly, will see .htaccess file.
Download that file and open it with WordPad.

It may not if the file is owned by the webserver. Copy the contents out of the .htaccess file and then delete it. CPanel will create another .htaccess file the next time you log in via CPanel that is owned by the user. Copy the contents back in.

For more details, see this thread: http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=99 (I think it's 99.)

I did it. I downloaded it and opened it with wordpad, thanks Venturemaker!

This is what is in the .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /$1/ [R=301,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]

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>

</Files>
</IfModule>

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^my.socialeguide.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.my.socialeguide.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.webjam\.com\/socialeguide" [R=301,L]

Where do I go from here? I really appreciate everyone's help! Thanks...

Where does this come from:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^my.socialeguide.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.my.socialeguide.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.webjam\.com\/socialeguide" [R=301,L]

Try commenting each line with # and see if it'll fix the problem.

ok I deleted the my.socialeguide.com which was redirecting to http://www.webjam.com I am not using it anyway.

I now have this .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /$1/ [R=301,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]

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>

</Files>
</IfModule>

What should I do now? The http://socialeguide.com/wp-signup.php is still not re-directing properly.

I have the same problem as narroyo623, about a month ago my site http://sportsblognet.com was working fine, and then the wp-signup.php page started taking forever to load, and most times, just ends up at a blank white page (in firefox, in IE it goes to a 500 Internal server error). I looked everywhere for answers but after adjusting my .htaccess numerous times, nothing seemed to work. Now it seems not to work, which means people can't signup.

So, what I decided to do was install a clean copy of Wordpress MU on another server, http://centralocale.com, and the wp-signup.php page worked fine, so I created a new database and dumped the entire database from http://sportsblognet.com into an empty database on http://centralocale.com. Then i just switched the info in the wp-config.php (and adjusted the names in the database to match the current site) and now http://centralocale.com works exactly like http://sportsblognet.com, with everything working except the wp-signup.php page goes blank. But if I switch the wp-config.php back to the new database, wp-signup.phph works fine.

Both databases are using the same exact files, including .htaccess, so my assumption is that there is something in my database that is preventing wp-signup.php to load, and load quickly, but I have no idea what I should be looking for, I would appreciate any help.

Try disabling the re-captcha plugin?

I went to your wp-signup.php and saw a blank(partially loaded header) page, a page with the recaptcha, then a 404.

Try the following to wp-config to beef up the memory

ini_set("memory_limit","64M");

EDIT or contact theplanet/slice host to increase memory manually via php.ini.

Thank you dsader! I think the memory limit was the problem, because I didn't have re-captcha on http://centralocale.com, but or old database does have 74 blogs on it, as opposed to the new one which has 3. Maybe it needed more memory with the more blogs and the size for the database. Anyways, thank you
