Hi, I'm having some problems with installing wpmu.
First, what (kind of) works:
I've installed on the target server, and accessed this locally at wpmu.safenet:80. The links work and pages are accessible. I still couldn't login, but this could be because I was using lynx?
Second, what doesn't:
Now I set the URL to be wp.externaldomain.com and use an apache redirect [P] rule to proxy traffic from outside. This results in the endless redirects that other users have also experienced.
Any ideas?
Lynx handles cookies, doesn't it?
Can't use the port in the URL. It should have told you that on the install as a warning.
Not sure about the proxy but I have a feeling that its an issue with the redirect since WPMu does redirects internally. There may be a conflict.
Anything in teh webserver's error logs?
are you doing forward or reverse proxy?
Did you try replacing the P with an R to see what the result request actually was ? Did you add an L so that the rule is the last one used ? where did you put the rule (in which htaccess and in what position ?

drmike: I put the port in there just to make it clear that I was using port 80. Looking back that didn't work! I didn't ever use that in the config. Though for future notice, wpmu doesn't warn about this.
When I do a request I get lots of this in the access_log:
192.168.1.6 - - [19/Mar/2007:15:57:58 +0000] "GET /wpmu/wp-signup.php HTTP/1.1" 302
and nothing in the error log.
Quenting - re proxies. This is my current config:
<VirtualHost 212.58.63.114:80>
ServerName wp.oncampusuk.co.uk
ReWriteEngine On
ReWriteRule ^/(.*) http://wpmu.safenet/$1 [P]
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPassReverse / http://wpmu.safenet/
</VirtualHost>
If I replace the P with an R, I get redirected to
As you can see, the config is in a virtual host, and the redirect rule is the only one there is.
Cheers,
