Had to dig hard, but we finally found a solution. We began looking at our server traffic and discovered that for some reason WP is sending a redirect from the login page to the “wp-admin” page (that makes sense), but then is ALSO sending a “GET” redirect back to the wp-login.php page. This second call is taking precedence, which is why we were in a never-ending loop and couldn’t login.

The temporary solution, at least it is now working for us in a non-Apache environment (we run Sun ONE Web Server/6.1), was to make the following change to the “pluggable-functions.php” file located in the “wp-includes” directory. On line 269, we changed the code to:

if (! $is_IIS) {

Apparently, this configures us as a “non-IIS” server. With this single change, we can now login without incident. However, note that the 2nd call is still being made. If anyone knows where to forward this info, perhaps it should be reviewed by WP development folks — seems to be an issue… Thanks for everyone’s help. Now we can begin with WP! –isaac

Hello…Yes, I see the same “registration not allowed” message when I visit here: http://www.wiu.edu/library/wordpress/wp-register.php
I assume if I could login to Admin, I could enable this?

Glo, not sure I understand your last message about adding “wp-admin.php” (can’t find a file by that name). However, when I go to this URL: http://www.wiu.edu/library/wordpress/wp-admin/
then I am automatically redirected to the following URL which displays a login screen. Is this to be expected?

http://www.wiu.edu/library/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Flibrary%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-admin%2Findex.php

The above long string is also the resulting URL that is always returned after supplying my correct username/password (takes me back to the same place).

Does anyone know if this “re-direction” sequence in the URL should be occurring? It’s like there’s a loop.
Thanks for your help!

Sure — what’s the best way to allow “one of us”?
