WordPress MU

I ran the install file, everything seems to come together fine. However, when i try to go to the admin or login pages, Wordpress will add /php/ to the file name.

For example: mydomain.com/wp-signup.php becomes
mydomain.com/php/wp-signup.php which does not exist in the file structure, and does not redirect anywhere. Why would it add this directory???

Um, wordpress is over at http://wordpress.org

dr mike...I am installing wordpress-mu, I just abbreviated.

Can anyone help me with this problem?
Should Wordpress-mu randomly add a virtual directory extension like /php/ to its addresses?

FWIW, I had a similar problem post install of MU. My Url looked like mydomain.com/cgi-system/wp-signup.php but eas actually √mydomain.com/mu/wp-signup.php
Here's how I corrected my situation.

1) Used phpmyadmin to search for all instances of cgi-system and corrected the path that way.
2) Edited out cgi-system from the wp-config file in my installation directory.
3) Edited .htaccess which also had cgi-system in the path.

This is really it but kinda took me a while to root out where that url was coming from. Hope it helps ya!

can someone tell me what the query is to find all instances of php using phpadmin?

I don't know if this is the same issue as reported at the link below (I thought that was fixed long ago), but it sounds very similar.

What I did was use phpmyadmin to dump the database as an sql file. Open the sql file in a text editor (notepad will do) and do a search and replace. Yours would be something like:

Find: mydomain.com/php/

Replace: mydomain.com/

Then go back to your database in phpmyadmin and delete all the tables and then import your corrected sql file.

Not sure if this will work, because your problem is a little different that what was reported, but it's worth a try.

can someone tell me what the query is to find all instances of php using phpadmin?

huh? I've never heard of phpadmin. Can you provide a link?

I think he meant phpmyadmin...

And there's a search tab in there. just plunk "php" in it.

Great...fixed /php/ entries in the database tables, and I'm getting farther than before.

Now if I can just figure out why the email feature is not working...I think I saw another posting about that...feel free to help me out or point me to the right post.

I appreciate all the help so far!!!

I had a similar problem in getting a WordPress MU installation up and going. I tried various things to get it working - but did in the end, manage to get a successful installation.

I went ahead and put in a bug report for this : http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/502

The ticket report contains a workaround that works for me. I don't know if this is the best place for posting the workaround - but I hope its helpful.
