I also changed the table prefix to be “wp15” instead of “wp”. install.php finishes successfully, but when trying to to login I get the following error: * [http://localhost/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fwordpress15%2Fwp-admin%2F](http://localhost/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fwordpress15%2Fwp-admin%2F) 404 File not found * Of course the address should be [http://localhost/](http://localhost/)**wordpress15**/ wp-login.php?redirect=… * I traced it down to the following: 1. After install the option siteurl in table wp15_options is set correctly to “[http://localhost/wordpress15”](http://localhost/wordpress15”); 2. However, after wp-login.php is called, this has changed to “http:”. * [trebor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trebor/) * (@trebor) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-error-1-3/#post-126386) * Oh, exactly the same problem I have, and wrote about in another post earlier. Anyway I change the siteurl (wordpress admin page or phpmyadmin) it changes back to “http:” when I try to login. Have tried with the two last betas with same problem. * [Gerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gerd/) * (@gerd) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-error-1-3/#post-126414) * A temporary solution is to comment out the following lines right at the top of wp-login: * // If someone has moved WordPress let’s try to detect it if ( isset( $_SERVER[‘ PATH_INFO’] ) ) $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’] = str_replace( $_SERVER[‘PATH_INFO’], ”, $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’] ); * if ( dirname(‘[http://’](http://’); . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . $_SERVER[‘ PHP_SELF’]) != get_settings(‘siteurl’) ) update_option(‘siteurl’, dirname(‘[http://’](http://’);. $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]) ); * Commenting out is done by adding /* before and */ after the lines like this: * /* … The code form above */ * [Gerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gerd/) * (@gerd) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-error-1-3/#post-126415) * Tracing futher it all comes down to this two lines: * if ( isset( $_SERVER[‘PATH_INFO’] ) ) $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’] = str_replace( $_SERVER[‘ PATH_INFO’], ”, $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’] ); * Since PATH_INFO and PHP_SELF have the same value on my machine (wordpress15/wp- login.php), the str_replace function simply replaces the whole PHP_SELF with an empty string. * I’m sure this isn’t desired. I was trying to figure out, what this code is instead supposed to do, but since there is no documentation on the PATH_INFO parameter on php.net, I still don’t know. * [trebor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trebor/) * (@trebor) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-error-1-3/#post-126445) * Thanks Gerd, saved me some work (as my PHP-skills are kinda rusty). * [Jack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moxie/) * (@moxie) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-error-1-3/#post-126452) * Still strange that the loginproblems keep on occuring. Untill now I’m still using a modified login.php from early 2004 that someone posted at that time, because the login that comes with all the nightlies (and 1.2.2) keep giving me troubles. * [navid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/navid/) * (@navid) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-error-1-3/#post-126453) * Moxie, if I recall correctly, someone rewrote the login.php again recently too. If it’s solid, then I’m sure it will get incorporated into the 1.5 final release. * [Jack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moxie/) * (@moxie) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-error-1-3/#post-126459) * I’m sure it will, but even the official login.php for 1.2.2 never worked for me ;).
