The settings are:</p> <p>domain: foo.com<br /> sub directory: /foosub<br /> table prefix: foo_</p> <p>The first time I clicked install, it downloaded Magento to my computer. I have NO clue what that was about, so after trying again with the same result, changed the name of the directory and tried again. Now I get the error message that install.php has a redirect loop (using Firefox and Chrome; IE just kept trying) that will not resolve. I tried deleting cookies, etc., but nothing works. </p> <p>If it matters, I have single sign on in the add on folder.

Here's the deal:</p> <p>In a "normal" WP install if I update the permalinks, WP does its thing and properly updates the htaccess file.</p> <p>In a wp-hive insstall, updating permalinks clears the WP htaccess section in the htaccess file (unless the htaccess file is "protected"). I even had it clear the htaccess file in one wp-hive install even though I haven't updated any permalinks.</p> <p>This did not happen in the older versions of wp-hive or before WP 3.0.

Well, so far I've tried Quick Cache, WP Super Cache, HyperCache, and I even went a different direction and tried DB cache. They all give me the same result - the hive sub-sites start showing the top site. I've tried deleting the cache folder each time so I know it's not "saving" a prior set.</p> <p>So, what do I need to do to get caching working? Is there something I should look at? (I really need this because these sites are starting to get hit hard, and I don't want to mess around with moving servers). </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/broke-my-hive-and-possible-bug-encountered#post-877 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:11:13 +0000 wwday3 877@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Wow, this was really scary. I have a mini-hive of some article directory sites (using the article directory plugin). Since that plugin is pretty database intensive, I was testing out caching solutions to speed it up a bit. QuickCache seemed to work ok, but then I ran across the W3 Cache plugin (supposedly endorsed by some big time bloggers). I installed it and suddenly all of the hive'd sites were just resolving to the top hive domain. Turned out the W3 Cache plugin DEACTIVATED the wp-hive plugin - every time I tried it.</p> <p>So, why would it do that? That seems so strange.</p> <p>Now, what I've noticed the last couple of sites I have installed is that the "install site" link in the Hive's dashboard does not work. I have to always use install.php appended to the new site domain to get it started. Is that intentional, or a bug? </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/wp-hive-w3-total-cache#post-1064 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 09:55:23 +0000 barszcz 1064@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I've managed to setup W3 Total Cache (which is great caching plugin) for sites running on WP Hive.

The results were either 404, or themes completely disappear from B.com or C.com. A.com seems to be the dominant. Tried http.access, only breaking everything altogether. also tried 'settings' in wp-admin to point to dir, 404 again.</p> <p>The desire is to have multiple domains all pointing to their respective sub-dir, without user having to type in the entire "domain.com/sub-dir" to get there. user should just type in "A.com, B.com or C.com" to get the correct redirect.</p> <p>Tech support was zero help, and scoured the web for answers, nothing either. So ended up buying new hosting packages everytime for new wp sites.</p> <p>am I crazy ? sorry if this sounds basic, but I am pretty new to this and would love to hear if anyone has a similar experience.</p> <p>Thanks so much in advance! </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/database-error-cant-install-plugins#post-960 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 07:51:30 +0000 angiessa 960@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Hi, all -</p> <p>I installed Hive yesterday, and everything seemed to be working fine.
