Request-URL Too Large

The request too large I THINK means that your site is redirecting over and over until the URL gets too long.

Are you using subfolders or subdomains, and what’s In your .htacess?

Thankyou. Yes, I am using subfoders and have set up one new blog using that.

The .htaccess files contains:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Okay, that’s the right .htaccess file.

Just checking: You did NOT create a manual subfolder (that is, there’s no actual folder on your server under domain.com/subfolder ) – There should NOT be, so don’t create one ??

Is that all that’s in your .htaccess? Do you have any redirection plugins on WP or in your domain setup?

This isn’t an addon domain within a cpanel account, is it? That adds to the length of the url as well. If it is, it;s a good idea to install wp/wpmu within the webroot of the account.

I don’t think so. I think this is a re-direction thing.

Actually, this is the link thats being generated why trying to access the WP-Admin:

try deactivating the log in plugin and test

How did you know there was a login plugin, Sam? O.o

I went to the wp-admin url
I got to the log in page eventually and it was obvious

I just deactivated my login plugin (simple login) but no change.

Then I tried deactivating another plugin (theme my login) which creates a members login page from my Thesis theme, and that did the trick!

Brilliant ! Thank you very much Samuel.

I suppose I have to abandon the “theme my login” plugin for good.

1st try activating the theme my login by itself
then activate simple login
may not work
I use theme my login and it works well – do you need both?
