    hello all –

    i have noticed when one of my multisite users trys to log in, the URL changes and i get a “page not found” error.

    for example, say i have parent.com as the main site and child.com as one of the multisites.

    when i try to enter:

    http:// child.com/login

    i am redirected to:

    http:// child.com/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/

    and this gives me a “page not found” error.

    however, this works just fine:

    http:// child.parent.com/login

    changing “login” to something else does not seem to make any difference. would it be possible to continue using the shorter login URL ?

    Do you own both child.com and parent.com? Are you saying that child.com is the same as child.parent.com? I don’t fully understand the problem, so could you please explain it again? 🙂

    hi janneke –

    yes in my example, i would own “child-dot-com” and “parent-dot-com”.

    in the multisite wordpress, there is a redirect plugin so child.com is really child.parent.com — here is the plug-in:

    when somebody logs in as http:// child.com/login, they are really being redirected to http:// child.parent .com/login without the user even knowing it. there is some apache magic going on behind the scenes here. we needed to implement an apache “custom-zone wildcard” in the httpd.conf file.

    again, this is a small price to pay to deal with a minor problem, but i thought i would ask anyways.
