db name gets prepended to every new sub-site name

    Here is my wp config: 

    define ('WPLANG', '');
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'winetrailers.com' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

    Every time I try to create a new site, say, “testwinery”, it creates a site with a name of “winetrailers_com_3testwinery/”

    Now… I know this is extremely weird and have absolutely no idea where it came from (brand new install) or how to solve it… any ideas?

    oh, and when I click on “dashboard” for that site, it takes me to “http://winetrailers.comwinetrailers_com_3testwinery/wp-admin/”

    hmmmm….

    .htaccess:

    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).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    Oh… when going to winetrailers.com/testwinery/wp-admin (testwinery is (was) supposed to be the sub-sit ename) and changing a theme, it changes the main site theme…

    Check the rest of your WP-config file for another entry of BASE.

    You were right!

    Reason: the Dreamhost f**ktards who did not understand that their one-clickinstalls were so screwed up they had 2 $base variables…

    Bingo 🙂 DreamHost does that, alas, and it screws up a lot of people :/ this is why auto installers are bad.

    And yes, I told them when 3.0 came out, they said they’d look into it and it is still not fixed.
