    WPMU 2.9.1.1
    When I go to
    /wp-admin
    I get a redirect to
    /login/?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmysitename.com%2Fwp-admin%2F

    I can not get into my admin section, all the websites are fine.

    Any advise is welcome

    thank you

    Hi,

    I have the same redirection problem although no mu-plugins and plugins are installed.

    When you type http://mysite/wp-admin, the URL also gets rewritten to

    http://mywebsite/wpmu/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmywebsite%2Fwpmu%2Fwp-admin%2F

    Because you have MU installed in the /wpmu/ folder. So it will be part of the address now.

    Move everything (files & folders) up a level & reninstall if you want it to be yourdomain.com

    Hi,

    I have the exact same setup on a different server (htdocs/wpmu), and it works. I think the problem is due to a rewrite directive somewhere, either in wpmu/.htaccess or elsewhere. I am currently comparing rewrite directives on both servers.

    Hi,

    problem solved.

    The issue was probably due to reading/writing rights in the wpmu directory which I bungled.

    I dropped my wpmu database, recreated it, reinstalled wpmu from scratch in htdocs, renamed the wordpress directory 'wpmu', chowned -R apache:apache wpmu, and every thing worked fine.

    Many thanks for your help andrea_r.
