[resolved] New installation - can't get past login page (5 posts)

    I've successfully installed WordPress via Fantastico Delixe Cpanel - get to the login page at http://www.binstock.com.au/monumental-masons-advice/wp-admin/ insert username and password and the page seems to reload with empty boxes.

    All folders are in correct place.

    Tried reinstalling. All Cpanel options are on. I have another site with WordPress under same account with no problems at all.

    Any ideas much appreciated.

    Best I can tell you is that I get the following in Firefox for your home page (NOT your admin login):

    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.

    So when you've done a new install there should be a home page (right, obviously). Hmm, seems something hasn't installed maybe.

    Checked - there's an index.php file in the root folder.

    Redirect errors are sometimes (often?) caused by the contents of the hidden file .htaccess

    As a quick experiment, try renaming /monumental-masons-advice/.htaccess to test.htaccess

    Yep, that's it. Working: http://binstock.com.au/monumental-masons-advice/

    I had my ISP give me some code for the .htaccess when setting up this account.

    I'll have to get them to revise it.

    Thanks a lot!
