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 * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Installed Great! — But Can’t Login to Admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installed-great-but-cant-login-to-admin/) * Thread Starter [isaach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isaach/) * (@isaach) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installed-great-but-cant-login-to-admin/#post-464017) * Reinstalled again…issue continues.

However, when I go to this URL: [http://www.wiu.edu/library/wordpress/wp-admin/](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](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.

Have also downloaded fresh WP software and reinstalled three times.

A few minutes ago (I’ve tried this twice), I manually generated a new password via phpMyAdmin (M5). The resulting password processes without an error message, but am still returned to the login page. * I’ve tried several computers (and clearing cache/cookies with each), but to no avail. Am currently at a different location (different computer/IP), but continue to receive same response. I’m carefully inputting the user/password combo (also, this is confirmed by the fact that I do not receive a password error message unless I intentionally (for testing purposes), input a “wrong” password). I’m clearing cache/cookies between attempts and trying different browsers. Must be something else? * Don’t have direct access to server logs, but will pursue. Thanks for your suggestions— anything else I might try? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [test](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/test/) * Thread Starter [isaach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isaach/) * (@isaach) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/test/#post-463666) * Apologies — Please delete.
