Both are set to: http://www.desilva.info/wordpress

I think I manually set those in wp_options based on reading one of the support docs, if those two URIs are “siteurl” and “home” in that database.

I’ll try to summarize the problem. The blog *mostly* works. However, there are certain instances–such as setting options–where the php code generates a redirect to something that looks like:

http://www.desilva.info/desilvainfo/info/wordpress/whatever.php

This doesn’t exist, and should be:

http://www.desilva.info/wordpress/whatever.php

For some reason, this is causing some sort of looping, and it goes back to the calling php routine, which just tries again with the same url.

The problem (I think) is that the host’s directory associated with “www.desilva.info/wordpress” is “/desilvainfo/info/wordpress”–in other words, the “/desilvainfo/info” shouldn’t be in the redirect.

But, I didn’t type those values in anywhere, so wordpress is (I’m guessing) doing some kind of call to get the current working directory (which my host is presumably returning as “/desilvainfo/info/wordpress”). I think I need to hardwire “/wordpress” into where that is happening to get things working right.

In the two URLs I showed in a prior post, wp_login.php is doing a redirect to wp_admin/option-writing.php in the wrong place, for example, but I can’t even find where wp_login.php references option-writing.php at all… (The loop shown was caused when I changed an option and tried to save changes in the control panel…

Actually, I don’t think its a host issue–I never typed “desilvinfo/info” into anything. I suspect somewhere WP is using some function to get the server directory, which is returning “desilvainfo/info,” even though that is invisible to the end user and shouldn’t be included in the WP references either…

Argh.
