Network admin links wrong

  • Resolved losgaz

    11 years, 9 months ago

    I have invoked multisite on an existing local site. WP resides in
    localhost/LOSTest/barman/
    The existing site and its admin still works correctly. Admin is in at localhost/LOSTest/barman/wp-admin

    The links for the Network admin resolve to localhost/LOSTest/wp-admin/network which obviously doesn’t exist.

    my config resides in localhost/LOSTest/ and contains
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'localhost');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/LOSTest/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

    htaccess is also in localhost/LOSTest/ and is

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /LOSTest/barman/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) barman/$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ barman/$2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    I have spent many hours looking at similar topics but nothing seems to work.

    Can anyone help please?

    The links for the Network admin resolve to localhost/LOSTest/wp-admin/network which obviously doesn’t exist.

    Then why this?

    define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/LOSTest/');

    If WP is installed in /LOSTest/barman, then that should be the same.

    That what was suggested on the Network setup – if I change that to anything else I get the:-
    Error establishing a database connection

    In fact if I remove that line and the define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'localhost'); nothing seems to change – the existing site worls and the network admin links are still wrong.

    Does localhost/LOSTest/barman/wp-admin/network work?

    That gets into the network admin page but the links to edit the site are incorrect. Also the Add New link is incorrect.

    I can go direct to localhost/LOSTest/barman/wp-admin/network/site-new.php
    but the post action url is also incorrect (no ‘barman’).

    Can you reinstall? I wonder if it’s a botched install.

    I’ve tried that – exactly the same result.

    Have now done a vanilla reinstall and all is now ok. As I was installing the network I noticed the message about mod_rewrite which I had obviously missed previously. I activated that this time, so that may be why it wasn’t working properly before.

    Just a thought – could perhaps a fix be made to throw an error if the module is not enabled?

    Thanks for your time.
