WordPress 1.2.1 Redirection Limit For this URL

    I’ve installed the latest version of wordpress in gentoo portage. The install goes smooth but everytime I try to log in I get the following error:
    Redirection for this URL exceeded. Your browser may be blocking cookies.
    I’ve looked through all the existing bug reports but I did not see any fixes. The wordpress site has similiar reports but there doesn’t appear to be a concrete solution to this problem. Anyone have a fix?

    For me the bug appeared as a failure to find <i>wp-layout.css</i>. Examination of the source of <i>index.php</i> (before and after preprocessing by the server) points to the functions <i>get_settings()</i> (defined in <i>wp-includes/functions.php</i>) and <i>bloginfo()</i> (defined in <i>wp-includes/template-functions-general.php</i>); both return addresses containing multiple redirects.

    This fixes it for Gentoo:
    diff -P -r -u -x ‘*~’ ebuild/htdocs/wp-admin/auth.php tarball/htdocs/wp-admin/auth.php

    return true;
    } else {
    return false;

    I can’t even get to the login screen now.

    With Mozilla won’t go to login screen.
    IE won’t go past the login screen.

    I reloaded the login file and the admin/index.php file.

    I really don’t want to have to reload everything.

    Follow these steps to check and/or correct you site_url and home values:
    https://tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/

    Set Home to my blog
    and verified site was the same URL.

    However, that didn’t seem to help any.
