WordPress multisites

If I try to access www.mysite.nl/subsite/wp-admin/ (redirected to www.mysitye.nl/admin), I get the following

so.... you found the pattern offending in /etc/apache/* right?

[Binkem]

I don't understand how these redirects work at all, but it seems to me that the input for this log-file (when acessing fails) has already been changed from /mysite/subsite/wp-admin to /mysite/admin

[Ubi]

I think the error is in WordPress itself, as I cannot reproduce

Could you go to MySQL and run:

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM `wp_options` WHERE option_name = 'siteurl' OR option_name = 'home';

(http://wordpress.org/support/topic/absp ... rong-value)

[Binkem]

The mysql query reports the following:

mysql> select * from wp_options where option_name = 'siteurl' or option_name = 'home';
+-----------+---------+-------------+-----------------------+----------+
| option_id | blog_id | option_name | option_value | autoload |
+-----------+---------+-------------+-----------------------+----------+
| 37 | 0 | home | http://www.mysite.nl | yes |
| 1 | 0 | siteurl | http://www.mysite.nl | yes |
+-----------+---------+-------------+-----------------------+----------+

[Ubi]

well that's wrong isn't it! Better replace that to http://www.mysite.nl/subsite.

(I guess UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'http://www.mysite.nl/subsite' WHERE option_name = 'siteurl' or option_name = 'home' LIMIT 2;)
Or better just use phpMyAdmin or so

[Binkem]

problem is that its a multisite homepage: i've got a normal site www.mysite.nl and www.mysite.nl/subsite both run from the same wordpress install I guess if i change these values I cannot reacht my normal site anymore.

[Binkem]

Something very strange happened today:
I didn't change anything to the site overnight, but suddenly the link works!
I did do some things to the .htaccess file yesterday, like chown-ing the file to www-data and having Wordpress change the permalink structure and changin git back again. This didn't have any effect yesterday though. Today suddenly everything works!

Thanks Ubi for all the help!

[Ubi]

hang on, you're mixing two wp sites with the SAME sql backend? That sounds like a recipe for disaster...
Why not put the other site into another database, or at LEAST another prefix.

[Binkem]

Actually it's a feature of WordpPress.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

And it's easier if you don't have to update two seperate WordPress installs but just have to keep the one install up to date.

[Ubi]

ah, indeed. I didnt know 3.0 was out.
But I am surprised that you only have a single option for siteurl when you effectively have two sites. I guess that is where the blog_id is for right?
WHy aren't there two records for siteurl with different blog_ids?
