After clean installation of WP and Network enabled can't login into blog
wp redirects me to
http://mysite/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
after each login
How can I solve this?

Got any redirection plugins running?
try disabling all your plugins.

(I know the first post said a clean install, just checking)

all plugins disabled - it's really clean install

maybe I can enable some logging to find out what is happening?
have such redirects on every login
wp-login.php -> network.php -> wp-login.php

I have the same issue as posted in another topic, http://wordpress.org/support/topic/306956?replies=18#post-1579550

Anyone ever figure anything out on this, Fresh install, not a plugin, not a browser issue, not a cache issue, not a cookie issue.

Tried all browsers, all are the same this is PHP problem, If someone can point me to the right PHP page, to fix this I would be a very happy camper,

I suspect your site is set up with a www and the network lines have a non-www reference.

finally found the solution
on my test platform I had host wmpu-local without dot
thats why when WP tried to set cookie for subdomains browser can't accept it
because there was .wmpu-local host in set-cookie

Glad you fixed your problem.

For future reference I had the same problem after setting the option "dashboard site" (Super Admin > Options > Dashboard Site) to a blog id.

After having done so, any visit to my blog url would redirect me to dashboard authentication page.

Resetting this option to blank solved the problem.

I just went to redo an install on a development server today and am coming up with this exact error.

The homepage loads just fine with twentyten installed. I can access the DB fine, but when I try to login through wp-login.php I get a redirect with "wp-admin%2F&reauth=1" at the end.

Logging in with an incorrect username/password throw up the normal "screen shake" error and I can go through the password reset stuff as well, but a correct login sends you back to the login page each time.

I've tried editing resetting the .htaccess back to the default and commenting out the WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE in wp_config but getting nowhere.

Any other ideas?

Cleared your cache & cookies? A different browser is always a good test.

Got this too after a 100% clean install last night

All the tests etc above done - still don't work - exactly same symptoms as masonjames

(for inter-user comparison - this one is on webhostingpad.com shared server PHP 5.2 MySql 5.summick Apache 2.summick install in domain root of an add-on domain, cPanel)

gazouteast, was this a fresh install over top of an old install?

Andrea_r's solution did work for me. I actually reset my .htaccess file to the "default" WordPress and then did a dns cache flush (open a terminal and type "dscacheutil -flushcache")

Did the trick. I then enabled mutlisite and updated my .htaccess with the rules provided within WordPress. No issues. Running multisite on subdomains now.

I thought it might be an issue with the host as it uses vDeck (which I'm not as familiar with as cPanel) but it's definitely a local cache issue. If you've cleared you're browser try a clearing the dns. Good luck!

Hi All

Nope to all the suggestions above - the resolution was far simpler than all of you are looking at, and I'm very surprised Andrea didn't think of it (but then I didn't either and I have a long-standing bug report in trac about it).

In WPMU 2.9.2 and earlier, the final screen of install is about 3 screen heights tall - at the top it gives the master admin username and password followed by a "login now" button. A LONG way down that page it says to delete or rename the /wp-admin/install.php file BEFORE trying to login.

WP 3.0 does not have that warning anywhere in the install screens, nor the readme, nor anywhere in the codex. On a hunch, I tried doing exactly that - BINGO - got straight in.

When I get a minute, I'll file another bug report in trac about this.

Hope it helps you all
Gaz

Same here - with a brand new site, brand new install, following all the instructions at http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Background Info:

Installation:

http://www.domain.org

Troubleshooting:

www.domain.org

domain.org

I'm just trying to get a site set up for a community organization, and I can see there may be good reasons to use multisite with subdirectories in the future. I don't necessarily want to set up a bunch of additional sites now, but I also don't want to lose the chance to use this tool.

Here's the site, if anyone has any better luck: http://merchantparkcommunitygarden.org.

WordPress 3.0.1 on Dreamhost shared hosting

Check with them - they may require an upgraded plan.

Also, if you've used their one-click wordpress installer , they add a bunch of junk to the bottom of the config file which has interfered with setups before.

Thanks, Andrea.

I'd checked around on the Dreamhost forums and wiki before signing up with them, trying to see what the options would be for multisite. I found this conversation in the forums where you tried to confirm what restrictions they would put on multisite and one of their staff confirmed they would support subdirectories.

What I didn't find online (though it may be there, I just didn't see it) is that it does indeed take a different type of subscription, a VPS (Virtual Private Server). It costs about $15 a month, according to this website: http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting-vps.html

I wasn't planning on setting up multiple blogs right now, I just wanted to have the superadmin role and any database adjustments set up so I could possibly add that functionality in the future. I didn't like the sound of this:

You cannot choose Sub-directory Install If your existing WordPress installation has been set up for more than a month, due to issues with existing permalinks.

Alas, I guess I'll just have to cross that bridge when I come to it.

Next challenge: removing the multisite option without bothering with a whole new installation. I may be back in these forums shortly with more questions.

That should only aply if you wanted subdomains, though I woudl not be surprised if they added some script to the server to muck up anyone trying to set up sobfolders as well. Cuz it can be more resource intensive because you're adding new blogs.

The good news for you though, is you can really set this up any time.

FYI, you can't choose it, but you CAN switch to it ;) It's a one line change, but it's not permitted out of the box so that only people who can understand they MIGHT goober permalinks make the change. Sort of a way to protect you from yourself.

I've just experienced the looping problem and was using the domain mapping plugin on a WP Network setup.
What solved it is to map the domain name even if it's already the main domain for the account.

I registered user.mydomain.com and mapped cooldomain.com, but didn't want to leave it like that because some plugins use the main URL instead of the mapped one.
So, I changed the main one to cooldomain.com and removed the mapped one.
At that point, it's only possible to log into WordPress from the main dashboard, with the main account.
Mapping cooldomain.com to cooldomain.com and marking it as the primary domain solved the problem.

Just documenting in case it helps someone else.

I have the same problem, and I can't seem to solve it. It's a fresh install, I removed /wp-admin/install.php and installed domain mapping with the right settings..

I fixed it by reverting the 'original' domain in the site's settings back from 'newdomain.com' to 'sub1.domain.com' but that causes all the files etc to be shown as sub1.domain.com, which I really don't want.

I wasn't able to fix that with domain mapping so I really want to go back to using the newdomain.com as the site's base url.. any ideas?

Did you check the "use remote login" ticky box under the domain mapping settings?

Litso

I've tried that, but when I use it while setting the site to sub1.domain.com that url stills shows up in the sourcecode. When I set the site to newdomain.com I get the redirect error.

My domain mapping settings:
Remote Login --Check
Permanent redirect (better for your blogger's pagerank) --Check
User domain mapping page --Nope
Redirect administration pages to site's original domain (remote login disabled if this redirect is disabled) --Check
Disable primary domain check. Sites will not redirect to one domain name. May cause duplicate content issues. --Nope

And of course in domains settings I have added newdomain.com to the corresponding site id as a primary domain.

Ah, I found the problem. Apparently, my cookies are set at .www.mydomain.com (I force www, maybe it's time to stop doing that).

Also, the path in there is /wpmu/, the folder in which my wordpress install is located. I have a htaccess rule that hides that path from my urls, and I've edited the wordpress htaccess and wp-config to reflect that (in other words, changed the path back to '/') but apparently the old path is still added to the cookie. Anyone know how to circumvent this?

Sorry for the multiple posts, I couldn't edit the one above anymore.. Anyway, I removed www and the problem still exists, so I think the problem is either in the path or something else completely. Any help is welcome.

If you're trying to hide the folder it's installed in, that's why. you can't do that successfully.

Also it's not wpmu any more.
