Two 3.0.1 multisite instances on same server – wierd formatting issues

  • An image of the problem can be found here: https://www.rappahannock.edu/images/twentyten.png

    The entire WP-Admin is really messed up in IE, I’m running 3.0.1 Multisite in my root directory with a custom theme. This instance of 3.0.1 is in the /dir directory with a separate database trying to run the Twenty Ten theme.

    It’s not the theme, my wp-admin is messed up with other themes as well. Has anyone run into issues like this running multiple multisite installs on the same server?

    Has anyone else experienced this? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

    All of my installs are sub-directory btw.

    Sorry, I keep forgetting details. This only happens in Internet Explorer, Firefox on Mac and PC works fine.

    Start disabling plugins and get it down to as clean as a fresh install as possible.

    No plugins enabled to begin with. I’ve tried reinstalling 3.0.1 and reinstalling twentyten just in case. Still no change in IE.

    Which version of IE? It works fine on IE 8 for me (although YICK I forgot how much I hate IE’s non-rendering of curved edges).

    The image is a 404 for me.

    Image link is fixed, IE 8 is what we’ve been trying. I don’t dare look at it in IE 6-7 (training on system in 30 mins lol) but in IE 8 the https://www.rappahannock.edu/dir is not center align-ed and the sidebar is knocked down to the bottom, and of course the wp-admin formatting in the picture mentioned above.

    That’s really wild. What version of PHP are you running? (My Windows Server skilz are … nearly zilch, but I may be able to logic around things.)

    ipstenu, I don’t think you’re alone on the Windows Server Skills. I’m having a heck of a time finding anybody who runs a windows apache server.

    But, I’m starting to think there’s an install/database problem. Tonight I create another separate 3.0.1 multisite network at https://www.rappahannock.edu/directorytest and that looks fine in IE.

    When our site went live I had two databases/multisite instances to switch over. Our main instance https://www.rappahannock.edu I followed method 2 from https://wpmututorials.com/how-to/change-the-domain/ and on our directory rappahannock.edu/dir instance I followed method 1. Andrea have you had any issues with this process in 3.0.1?

    And I guess the real question is, if my database is somehow messed up, what’s the best way to get my data out of there and into a new database? Time to do some searching…

    I followed method 1. Andrea have you had any issues with this process in 3.0.1?

    Version number does not matter, it’s the exact same process. you’re just manipulating data in the db. Nothing in there would account for something not showing right in IE.

    You *could* have some files messed up though.
