Getting ../wp-signup.php?new=mydomain.com loop after multi-site installation

Does domain.com work? SANS the www.

Hello ipstenu. Yes, well, … maybe. I deleted the www from the URL and it then redirected to www. So I guess maybe not.

Is there something in your .htaccess to redirect no-www to www?

I’ve only seen this lately when someone has a mix of https://www.domain.com and domain.com in their settings for the main multisite.

Or in wp-config, the URL has NO www and the multisite style is set to subdomains and not subfolders.

Here’s the relevant portion of my wp-config file:

define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );
$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.mydomain.com' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

As I said, this is an existing installation, so subdirectories will be what I’ll be using. Should the subdomain section be changed to false? .htaccess settings look like:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

… Vanilla .htaccess right out of the multi-site instructions.

Yeah if you want SubFOLDERS change this in your wp-config.php:
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );

to
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );

At a wild guess, that may fix it.

ipstenu, I think you’ve helped me fix the problem. Seems to be working fine now and NOT appending the ../wp-signup.php?new=mydomain.com after the base URL. Thanks!

On some domains I have installed wordpress via an auto-installer and later configured it as multisite. But when ever I create the wordpress site using auto-installer .It doesn’t give me the .htaccess file by default .So I do create an empty file with the name .htaccess in cpanel and paste the code to it.

"RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]"

Is it a right method ?

hi,

I am also facing the sample problem. But i am using subdomain instead of subfolders.

if i change the following entry
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true ); to define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
It will solve the problem but i need subdomain.

Kinldy tell in subdomain case how can i solve this issue. i mean how will i remove the “/wp-signup.php?new=mydomain.com” from my domain.
