Latest version of WP 3.8.1 I think
Here we go some quotes
In firefox
The page isn’t redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
In IE6
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
thanks Keith
I presume you mean the wordpress installation in www02
The top setting wordpress URL was already there
I removed the /www02 on the lower setting site address
Seems to make no difference – I can access the site at URL/ww02
but no other variants
http://www.URL
URL
http://www.URL/www02
ok I’m getting there
Edit wp-config.php
It is possible to set the site URL manually in the wp-config.php file.
Add these two lines to your wp-config.php, where “example.com” is the correct location of your site.
define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://example.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://example.com’);
I did this edit in both locations public_html and in www01 subdomain
using URL for the first pair and URL/www01 for the second pair
and got the sites back
Awesome! The only difference with setting the URL’s in the wp-config is that you will not be able to change them in the admin panel any longer 🙂
I now have 3 WP installations
one each in public_html, public_html/www01, public_html/www02
accessible as URL, URL\www01,URL\www02
The first is also accessible as wwww.URL
Why does http://www.URL\www01 & wwww.URL\www02 give ‘the webpage cannot be found’
i.e.no www redirect
Ive saved the permalinks option within each of the above to try to make sure htaccess is ok
However if I remove the above two defines in wp-config the sites become inaccessible again
Can you guess what is taking precedence?
Ive edited it more and moved the files from public_html to \www00
using the last part of your last link to WP in its own directory
I had to do some tidying of image links but now ok
thanks 🙂
Mods – sorry to bother but this thread is getting more hits than my site
~Please can you remove the direct references to it in posts 1 and 3
or change the name to ‘URL’ for consistency with subsequent posts
thanks!
It is not the general policy to edit or delete forum posts. When a post is made and people contribute answers to an issue, that then becomes part of the community resource for others to benefit from. Editing or deleting posts removes this added value. In extreme circumstances, the moderation team might be persuaded to remove sensitive information but. generally, your best course of action is not to publish anything that you wouldn’t want to be public.

I’m sorry but this is not an extreme case.
Hi esmi {bows]
I realise now it’s not normal policy to remove links but I thought by changing it to ‘URL’ the thread would still make sense as that’s what it says in subsequent posts discussing how to get control back.
Otherwise this thread is top of search engine listing for my site!
