 * Hi,
 * I just run into the problem that I can’t access the **admin** pages anymore. 
   The **blog itself works fine**. No redirect problem there.
 * When I try to access the admin page with:
 * [http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/](http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/)
 * the URL changes to:
 * [http://localhost/?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysite.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://localhost/?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysite.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)
 * I checked the wp_options table – no “localhost” entry there. siteurl and home
   show the correct domain name.
 * That’s my htaccess file:
    SetEnv PHPRC /home/mysite/public_html/php.ini
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule
   ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * I don’t remember to have changed anything between my last successful login and
   today.
 * Any hints would be great!
 * Detlef

 * My problem was caused by my hosting service. They implemented the redirect to
   avoid the WP installation to be hacked – without notice. I fixed know and works
   fine (with a different URL for the login).

 * Hi Detlef, thank you. In the meantime I also submitted a ticket to my hosting
   provider. They have also redirected WP without giving their clients prior warning!
   
   All the best, Bruce
