New subdir sites not being created correctly

    I had a development server setup as a single site installed to its own directory (/wordpress). I upgraded this site to 3.1 using the automatic upgrade feature and all seemed fine. I next decided to enable multisite using the procedure out lined here using the subdir method. The main site needed a permalink change to fix the 404 issue and all seemed well. When I created my first sub site the sites home page said that “hello world” post was “not found”. After some more looking it seemed the site was pointing to the root site (/wordpress) and not the directory where it needed to point (/wordpress/development). Steps taken to produce this (all plugins were disabled).
    From the network admin page:
    1. -> Sites/add new
    2. Fill in site address, site title, admin email (example)
    3. -> Add site
    4. System chugs for 30 sec or so and returns a “Remote Server or file not found”
    5. -> Page Reload takes you to a screen that says “Are you sure you want to do this?” with a link “Please try again”. Clicking the link takes you back to the new sites page.
    6. Going back to the sites page shows the new site added. (/wordpress/example/)
    7. Editing this site and adding an existing user (admin) seems to work as intended.
    8. Going to the sites page (www.example.com/wordpress/example/) gives you a site named “My Site” with no posts just “Not Found” “Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.”
    9. Trying to login to the site admin (www.example.com/wordpress/example/wp-login.php) takes you to the login for (www.example.com/wordpress /wp-login.php).

    What’s not happening during new site creation:
    ? By editing the site (/wordpress/example -> Edit -> settings tab)
    1. Site URL = https://www.example.com/wordpress/, needs to be https://www.example.com/wordpress/example/
    2. Blogname = “My Site”, needs to be “Example”
    3. Home = https://www.example.com/wordpress/, needs to be https://www.example.com/wordpress/example/
    I am not sure if this is “as designed” or a bug, but I wanted to bring this up since it seemed others were running into this issue. There are probably more errors in the settings tab that I am missing.
    Thanks in advance,
    Z

    Suffusion’s author just came out with an update from 3.7.7 to 3.7.8. Now adding a site tells me there was a problem creating a new user. Looks like the theme author my know whats going on…..I hope.

    Tracked the problem too “Theme Skinning\Header\Header Background Image Type\Use a rotating set of images from a folder”. If this is set then the error occurs. By setting the image type to “Use a predefined image” the new site is created correctly. Hope this is helpful.
