login problems with wordpress in its own directory

    • Posted 2 years ago #

    WordPress info:
    I have wordpress Version 2.8.4 set up following these directions:
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

    ...so the wordpress folder is located here: http://www.example.com/cms/
    ...but the world sees the blog here: http://www.example.com/

    I have permalinks set up with Day and name (a.k.a.: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/)

    bbPress info:
    I installed bbPress 1.0.2 here: http://www.example.com/forums/

    The problem:
    I'm having some problems with this setup which I think are being caused by mod_rewrite.

    I try to login at https://www.example.com/forums/ (using the login and password emailed to me after installation) and it seems to accept my login, but then tries to take me to this url: https://www.example.com/forums/forums/ and then shows a wordpress 404 not found page.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks very much in advance for any help!

    SimonDorfman - I have that same setup with no issues. You shuold be logging in with http not https, but I doubt that matters.

    What happens if you go back to /forums ? Are you logged in?

    (also mods, can you delete vannartih's spam?)

    ipstenu, thanks for your comment.
    When I go back to http://www.example.com/forums/ I'm logged in. But when I click on the Admin link, it doesn't take me there (https://www.example.com/forums/bb-admin/) instead it just reloads the /forums/ page.

    Hmm, I think the problem might be related to this plugin which I have installed in wordpress:
    http://www.kerrins.co.uk/blog/admin-ssl/

    I deactivated it by removing its folder from the plugins folder via FTP. But it didn't seem to really deactivate. Now I'm trying to activate it so I can deactivate it via the GUI, but it's not working. I'll have to investigate it further tonight.

    I was able to get to the admin area by removing the "s" in https at the beginning. Then I went to settings and tried to change the bbPress address (URL) from https://www.example.com/forums/ to http://www.example.com/forums/ but it doesn't save the change. I might have to go in with phpmyadmin...
