WordPress MU

Hi,

I just installed Wordpress mu .7 on a new server.

Using the admin account I can login.

When I try to login with a different user it never logins. This means Wordpress allows me to create a new user and a blog, but I can not login with the new user

Using firefox it displays a message like:

the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete

I research on this forum, google, different forums, and all of them talk about the problem but saying that this and upgrade problem

But as I said, this a brand new installation.

versions:
Wordpress 2.7
MySQL 5.0.22
Apache 2.2.11
Windows 2003 R2 Server

If I create a new user and then I add that user to the admin role it works. If I add all the users to the admin role it works.

Dropped all the tables, download again wordpress, deleted everything and tryed again and ..the same.

I do the same install on my lapto with windows xp and on my laptop works fine but not on the server.

The only difference is that in may laptop I use "localhost.domain" as the computer name and in the server is community.bitam.com (a subdomain)

any clue?
Any help will be apreciated

Did you try to clear cookies, cache, restarting browser and loggin in as user then?

This was happening to me. The problem is that when you create a user, it actually DOES NOT assign it a Role. Go in and check the user's role and it most likely will be -No Role for this Blog-. If you assign it a role, you will be able to log in.

I found that adding a user through Users -> Add New, produces this problem. If you add a user from Site Admin -> Users, then assign it a role, this doesn't happen.

Is this a bug? Why are users not given the role they are assigned when added?

Venture,

did id many times. No working.

Veeco

yes, there is no role. But in my case I an using the "create new blog" option on the login page of wordpress.

What is very frustating, is that I can not find the difference between my laptop and the server

Thanks both of you
Adrian

did you use www with domain on your server?

no wwww, just:

subdomain.domain.com

I mean, when you installed WPMU, did you use www?
Can you show your .htaccess and wp-config.php files?

Thanks Venture

my .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp/

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]

RewriteRule . - [L]

OK, so you installed WPMU into community.bitam.com/wp/ ?

And users blogs are created like community.bitam.com/wp/username ?

yes, that is right

diossabot,
if those are your actual DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, I suggest you change them now because you just made that information public. If they're fake, forget I even said anything...

Thanks!

OK... Maybe I am just tired, or...
Or you seem to have .htaccess file of subdomain install, while you're using subdirectory install.

the htaccess files are the same in both cases VM.

By the answer of Andrea, I deduce the file is the same in both cases VentureMaker

thanks!

OK, I was really tired :)

Try adding this into config file:

define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
define('COOKIEPATH', '');
define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '');

pasted as is in the config file, didn't work.

OK, where can I signup and test? :)

sure! be my guest!

An error occurred during the activation
Invalid activation key.

This is what I get on certain step.

I really appreciate your help VM

Will hold this testing a bit, while I find another server for my testing and start over again.

Thanks!!
