Site path has dbname in it, can't get rid of it!

    I’m in some odd mode that when I add a site it shows the path as the dbname and path instead of just the path. e.g. instead of showing a path of foo/ or /foo/ (not sure which is right anymore) it shows a path of dbnamefoo/

    I’ve searched and searched and find nothing.

    I’ve even completely uninstalled and purged everything and started over. Fortunately this is a new site on a debian linux install so while it took a while and wasted time I didn’t lose that much.

    dbname also happens to be the domain, dbname.net and while I don’t think that matters I’m not sure.

    TIA for any help… I’m at my wits end!

    Oh, if it wasn’t obvious, it’s subdirectory not subdomain.

    Did you use Dreamhost’s one click installer?

    Look in wp-config.php for a line at the bottom called $base = dbname.

    Andrea, thank you very much! I’m gonna chalk that one up to way too little sleep. I didn’t use dreamhost, but that told me what to look for. I used debian’s apt to install the initial package and a script that comes with it to create the initial configs. I then updated to 3.0.1 manually. I then followed the directions too literally and put the lines from the network tool in the wrong file which left, as you mentioned, $base = dbname. Every time I’d look I was then looking in the correct file. When I did a grep that showed me where the problem was.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!
