I have a master domain and several add-on domains and am in the process of installing wordpress on each of these add-on domains.
So far I have completed 6. All installations appear to be successful in that I have received a “success” message plus a confirmation email.
However when I try to login the position differs. On some domains I login without problem but on others I get the error message:
“The page isn’t redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.”
I have checked the latter and this is not the problem.
I have also checked each individual domain and all websites load and display correctly.
Has anyone any idea what my problem is and how I can resolve it. All suggestions appreciated. Thanks in anticipation.
]]>Information:
– IP: https://74.53.100.34/ (you’ll see the Gator dashboard instead of my homepage!)
– I’ve been accessing my homepage with “https://74.53.100.34/~smsoo1”
– I subscribe Gator’s most basic linux hosting package: (https://www.hostgator.com/shared.shtml)
-IE webbrowser on Vista
-WordPress 2.6
I copied the entire contents of the folder ‘wordpress’ into ‘public_html’ on the server. Then I renamed the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php and edited SQL variables (username, password etc) Finally point my browser to /wp-admin/install.php and followed the instructions.
My question is what did I do wrong? The support guy said WordPress rewrite the domain name as an IP. Is that true? Here’s the transcript:
Michael G: Welcome to HostGator Live Chat, how may I assist you?
me: Hi, Last weekend, I bought a domain from your company. I received an email saying it would take a few days for the domain to be resolved. To this day, it is still an ip address
me: Whenever I key in my domain www.bigfortuneonline.net what is get is https://74.53.100.34/
Michael G: What is your primary domain name?
Michael G: Please wait while I check. Thank you for your patience.
me: And that’s not even my homepage. It’s what I think you call control panel or dashboard
me: OK
Michael G: This error seems to be due to your wordpress installation. Did you install this through fanatastico?
me: no. I uploaded the wordpress folder and modified the wp-admin.php file and that’s what I get
me: May I know how to correct it?
Michael G: One moment please.
me: OK
Michael G: What is the username and password for
Michael G: cpanel
me: username XXX
me: XXXX
Michael G: This is for cpanel?
me: hold on
me: Your Username: XXX Your Password: XXX
me: sorry
Michael G: One moment please. I apologize for any delay.
me: take your time
Michael G: Ok. It seems the wordpress installation is misconfigured. You will need to reinstall it or change the address used in the database. I would not be able to tell you exactly how to do this sorry.
me: Is there a way to verify that my domain is working?
Michael G: If the domain was not working it would never reach the server.
me: by working I mean having a domain name, not an IP address
me: DNS
Michael G: It is reaching it but wordpress is rewriting it as the IP.
Michael G: You can do a whois search to see where the domain is going at https://nwtools.com/
me: give me a second
me: It gives me abunch of IPs when I key in my domain name. If I remove the wordpress folder from the server, will it get rid of the annoying IP address? What I want to see is my domain name after keying it in the address bar..not some numbers
Michael G: Yes. If you remove the wordpress installation and the database it should start workin right away.
Please help me. I don’t want to uninstall if possible. I don’t want to lose my posts and formating. <sweating>
