Login redirect error on 2.0

I reinstalled and this time the login led me to a directory structure (the page where you see all the directories when a web page cannot be found). And it happened to some other links in the index.php page as well.

And then after about 5 minutes later, All the links came back to normal but the login redirect error came back as well!

Anyone has any idea what went wrong?

Windows 2003 server, MySQL 5.., PHP 5.., Database is working fine. I have no other database.

Submitting comment also redirecting back to the commenting page…leaving no comment I just made.

What’s the typical cause for this kind of behavior?

Now I believe the 2.0.1 updated version “will” fix my problem with redirecting to login. Let me try this new version and I’ll let you know.

Nope.

The updated 2.0.1 didn’t fix the problem.

I’m stuck now.

Viola!

It is working…at least from my notebook!

On my notebook, I lowered my security setting to minimum for my site and register it as Trusted Site. I now have access.

But it didn’t work from my desktop even if I did the same as my notebook, lowering to the minimum security setting and registered as Trusted Site.

Window’s firewall is disabled on both computer.

Any ideas?

Hi! I experienced the same thing when I set my website URI to domainname.com/index.php

To solve it, I edited the contents of the mySQL database: wp_options – siteurl and erased the “/index.php” part.

And that solved my login redirect error.

Well…I don’t have the “/index.php” part…or the trailing slash…

What value is stored in your wp_options-siteurl?

I was experiencing the same problem. I tried ManuelViloria’s suggestion and it worked for me.

Here is how I did it:

Through my cpanel, I went to phpMyAdmin.

On the left sidebar, I selected the blog database in question from the drop down menu.

Below that will appear the database structure. I clicked the wp_options link.

At the top of the wp_options page, I clicked the Browse button.

I then clicked the edit icon for the siteurl line, and edited the option_value to the correct login directory.

Hope this helps.

Hello everybody!
My wordpress installation worked perfectly till last night. No problem whatsoever. For somereason last night I couldn’t logout, and this morning I couldn’t login anymore. I am always redirected to: /wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-admin%2F
content/cache has been emptied several times and I’ve already resetted the password from phpmyadmin. My wp_options-siteurl is set to https://www.nopressure.co.uk/wordpress/ .
Really can’t figure this out and I’ve already tried from other pc @ home………

Had the same thing after an upgrade to 2.0.4. Always a redirect to those weird extended urls. I could copy the shortcut by a right click and paste then it would work. FINALLY, cleared all cache from IE, cleared all cookies, shut down all IE browsers, opened IE, then all links were back to normal. Your mileage may vary.

Hi

I have found what the issue is with this:

1) You may have added this site to the “blocked cookie list” – delete it from there
IE: tools > internet options > privacy > sites > look under managed sites
If your site is there, delete it

2) Make sure your browser is accepting cookies for this site
Between the login and the re-direct to the correct admin page it seems like WP reads
the cookie, if it ain’t there, it will just redirect to the wp-admin page again
IE: tools > internet options > privacy > sites > in address of website type your
url with https:// in front and click “allow”

3) Test by setting your security level to low.
IE: tools > internet options > privacy > drag lever down to “accept all cookies”

You may need to apply just 1 or all of them for it to work.

Hope you get it working & God Bless

Like Hiromi-chan, above, I’m suddenly getting the same redirect problem.

I’ve emptied the browser cache/cookies and completely reset it.

I’ve killed the WP cache file.

I’ve navigated through SQL and made sure the site URLs were correct.

I’ve tried a new wp-login.php file.

Nothing works.

What is up with this? I haven’t seen a good answer– or solution– yet.

I had the “redirect” problem as well, and the fix described in this thread solved it:
