for my install, I didn’t get the white page of death. but then again I had like 3 plugins installed. you might want to deactivate your modules from the database.

I’m not sure if it’s a cache problem. I used a different browser and it works.

I also found that logging in to https://domain.com/wp-login.php instead of https://domain.com/wp-admin works.

as a note, I also think it might have something to do with the “-” in wp-admin when redirected turns into “%2D” – do you see that in your install?

yup. I’m the only user there.

finally solved it.

I found my answer in this one little comment here

I strongly suggest that you don’t use htaccess, and instead use the <Directory /var/www/> directive in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default config file. But if you insist on using htaccess, www-data needs to have read access, but should definitely not have write access.

Which led me to check the file where it had AllowOverride None.

*facepalm*

so – for future reference, not only check httpd.conf but also /etc/apache2/sites-available/default (with no .conf extension).

:O headache.

yeah… I don’t think that httpd.conf file will work for me. I have an Ubuntu 10.04 install on my server, I think, from your .conf file that you have windows?

thanks,

I know right? maybe a bad install of apache? thanks, will try out your httpd.conf

Hi muffintop,

can you post your httpd.conf file here? my httpd.conf file is empty for some reason.

thanks,

hmm it just disappeared. weird.

ah. because apparently ‘wp_head’ doesn’t run in admin.

any update on this? can no one answer this supposedly easy thing if it were straight php?

wordpress is making it hard .

can I use

add_action('action_here', 'function_name($variable)');

to work?

nobody? is this documented?

this isn’t my function. i got it from the link above.

I’m just trying to understand how I could pass “$post_id” say, I want post number 20?
