WordPress MU

Hello All,

I followed all the installation instructions at http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WPMU but with it didn't work.

I installed it at a subdirectory domain.com/folder and after the installation runs and gives me the login info, the index page keeps redirecting from domain.com/folder/index.php to http://www.domain.com/folder/index.php and nothing happens as it keeps redirecting!

The login page opens but with no any styling or formatting with white background and bold fonts and after typing the login info and submitting it, it redirects to nothing and says "Server not found".

Any solution to fix such problem?

Thanks

Did you enter http://www.domain.com as the server address during the install? If so, you'll need to restart the installation and only use domain.com.

Also, is there another WordPress install in the root directory?

And what host are you on?

@tmoorewp no I didn't. I am installing it on domain.com/folder and that is what I added at the server address also.

I have other wordpress installations on the server but none of them is in the root and I wanted to install MU to save time & effort of uploading the software, themes and plugins everytime I need a new blog on the server.

Any Solution?

@andrea_r I am using a vps server from my company and it is running on Apache.

Waiting for your reply.

Have you set up mod_rewrite in Apache? And what do your VirtualServer settings look like?

Oh hey, re-readign the details now...

"domain.com/folder/index.php to http://www.domain.com/folder/index.php"

In Apache, go set up the account without the www.

@tmoorewp I will ask the server administrator and reply you back.

@andrea_r I don't understand what you said. Can you please explain what you meant and within which files are such modifications executed?

Best Regards

WPMU will strip the www from the domain. Ypur server is set up to redirect non-www requests to the www. MU strips them out. The server sends it back.

This is why you get a redirect loop.

Who's in charge of the box? Tell them what I said.
