Cannot Login to root site after 3.1 upgrade

Server 2008 … Windows I presume? What version of IIS or … whatever passes for it in WAMP? (which is WAY outside my knowledge base, alas)

Yes Windows Server 2008

Not using IIS

Using Wamp (Windows, Apache, mysql, php)

Thanks

I still cannot login to my root site?

Anyone have any ideas?

Update on this issue…

https://www.mysite.com/ -public site works fine
https://www.mysite.com/wp-admin – STUCK IN LOGIN LOOP:
[https://mysite.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1]

https://sub.mysite.com -public site works fine
https://sub.mysite.com/wp-admin – logs in just fine

Troubleshooting Steps:
1. Clear cookies and cache
2. Deactivate ALL plugins (Some are network activated and I cannot get to them since they are under the mysite.com/wp-admin dashboard.)
3. Install and try some conical redirect plugins (now deactivated)

Don’t know what to do next

I cannot access the root website of this network installation. It would really help if I could…you know for administrative reasons….

HELP !

note it’s stripping the www there…

Does https://www.mysite.com/wp-login.php work?

No, I type that into the browser and get the login box, type in the user and pass then get the login page again with the following URL.

https://mysite.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

and it just keeps taking me back to this page.

And Andrea, I assume it’s stripping because in wp-config, I have
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
@define(‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/’);
define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true );
$base = ‘/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘mysite.com’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );

The site I cannot access is site 1. The site that works fine is site 5 if any of that helps

Try define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.mysite.com' );

I have a feeling you have a mismatch in there where your site was at https://www.mysite.com before you flipped it to MutliSite.

Last time I have this problem too, I just remove something in .htaccess and disable wordpress mu in wp-config.php and then I can login, then I can do something and recover it and so on.

Just an update, I have tried all the suggestions that you have posted and I appreciate all the help, but I still have the issue.

Since my last post, I have deactivated all plugins (Except the ones that I cannot get to in the base domain) dashboard that are network activated)

But, still when I try to administer the base url of my wordpress install, it just keeps giving me the login page.

I would appreciate any more help you can give…

Thanks

If anyone would like to try to login to my site, I have no problem with that…just let me know via a post.

I had the same problem – only in firefox tho, chrome works fine.
I half-solved the problem by deleting wp-config.php from the server – when I tried to re-logon I had to go through the process of reentering the site configuration data.

Now I had ONE opportunity to log in via wp-login on firefox – only one, the next time I tried I had the same problem as before – I was stuck on the login page.
Quite annoying, is there any solution to this?
