[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] w3 total cache crashing with multiple installs

    hello,

    running two blogs (e.g. english and 2nd language) and i wanted both to have w3 total installed for caching…

    turns out this does not work.

    i installed w3 total cache on blog 1, which is on the root directory and all is good

    however, after i installed w3 total cache on /directory/, updating settings in the either blog will crash your wp install. what happens is it will log you out of both wp admin and prompt you to login back into the blog that you have most recently updated. however if you navigate to for example domain.com/wp-admin, you will automatically get redirected to domain.com/directory/wp-admin if this was the blog that you updated last for w3 total cache settings.

    has anyone experienced this?

    i wonder if this is the same case for subdomain

  • Hmm there could be some path issues involved. Could you submit a bug form using the Support page in the plugin if you have it running on one of the sites? Or go to w3-edge.com/contact

    hi Frederick,

    Yeah, it would be great if w3 total cache could work on a main domain and on the directory.

    right now, I have resorted to using w3 total cache only on the main blog.

    to reproduce the problem, it’s simple.

    1) I just installed w3 total cache on domain.com. Got everything to run properly.

    2) Then I installed w3 total cache on another blog on domain.com/blog2/. When the w3 is enabled on the 2nd blog, you will see the wp admin login and logout problems

    Thanks for the help in advance

    Is there a reason you’re not using multi-site to do this? W3TC supports that if you activate it for the blogs individually.

    Is there a guide showing how to properly set up W3TC with multi-site. I understand having to activate it individually on each blog, though then each blog starts throwing config and .htaccess warnings at the top of the page. Or do you just ignore those?

    hi, thanks for the reply!

    i have not used wp mu because I tried once and seemed too complicated for my purpose.

    Since i am only using two blogs on the domain, managing the plugins is still fairly simple to do without going to wp mu.

    let me know if it’s possible to have a fix for this (without wpmu). thanks!

    @savvyharry, If the installs are not nested, W3TC should work well (even better in the next release).

    @monkeypress, there isn’t a guide, you can ignore those. The next release supports network activation.

    Thanks for the update Frederick. That’s great news!! Do you have a timeline for the next release?

    hum…

    i don’t think my installs are nested at all…

    2 separate blogs… on the same domain, but i get those errors I posted.

    don’t know why

    ??

    @savvyharry, both sites do not share an .htaccess file do they?

    @monkeypress, still shooting for this month.

    hi!

    no, they don’t share an .htaccess file

    thanks for the help!

    Still not clear what’s happening here, if you still want some help, please submit a bug submission form from the support tab of the plugin.

    I get this exact same problem just as described in the initial post. Any updates?

    Setup is like…

    domain.com/1 (a full WP installation)
    domain.com/2 (a full different installation with different prefix to database)

    Seperate .htaccess files too. They are entirely separate installs.

    Updating settings on #2 installation will lock you out of #1 and attempts to re-login will redirect you to #2. It does that basically for whichever was last updated.
