I have set up multisite on an exisiting WP blog. After a few difficulties I managed to create a new sub-blog. My problem now is that I can see the new site but not login to the site admin (from any direction). Any attempt to go to .../WP-Admin just creates a huge url which eventually give the following error:
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
Then says:
Request-URI Too Large
The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.
Any thoughts anyone?
The request too large I THINK means that your site is redirecting over and over until the URL gets too long.
Are you using subfolders or subdomains, and what's In your .htacess?

Thankyou. Yes, I am using subfoders and have set up one new blog using that.
The .htaccess files contains:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
Okay, that's the right .htaccess file.
Just checking: You did NOT create a manual subfolder (that is, there's no actual folder on your server under domain.com/subfolder ) - There should NOT be, so don't create one :)
Is that all that's in your .htaccess? Do you have any redirection plugins on WP or in your domain setup?
This isn't an addon domain within a cpanel account, is it? That adds to the length of the url as well. If it is, it;s a good idea to install wp/wpmu within the webroot of the account.
try deactivating the log in plugin and test
How did you know there was a login plugin, Sam? O.o
I went to the wp-admin url
I got to the log in page eventually and it was obvious

I just deactivated my login plugin (simple login) but no change.
Then I tried deactivating another plugin (theme my login) which creates a members login page from my Thesis theme, and that did the trick!
Brilliant ! Thank you very much Samuel.
I suppose I have to abandon the "theme my login" plugin for good.
1st try activating the theme my login by itself
then activate simple login
may not work
I use theme my login and it works well - do you need both?
